Shared Borders duplicating

I an using FP2002 and am trying to use a shared left
border in a page that I created/updated before. I have
deleted the previous borders off of the page and the page
looks fine, both locally viewed and viewing thru the
website.
When I go to add back in the LEFT shared border,(ONLY the
left, the bottom border works like a champ), for some
reason it adds it in and displays for viewing locally OK,
but when I view the website (after publishing), it has
multiple of the same left border -usually 2 or 3 of the
same left border.
If I remove the left border, and publish they are all gone.
The bottom border works fine, no problems. Just the Left
border seems to experience this.
Is it alright to have more than just those 2(left and
bottom) files in the _borders directory? Could that have
some relationship to the problem? I am stumped. Can anyone
help me out?

Look in the page code. Borders show up as 'tlrb' (top,left,right,bottom) Make sure there is not 2 'L's.

Also open the page 'left.htm' in the _borders folder. (If the folder doesn't show, go to web settings and check 'show hidden folders')

The left.htm may have the duplicated columns.

There are some bugs in FP2002 & in the FP2002 SE related to shared borders & include pages
so make sure you (and your host) see & apply all appropriate patches from:
