I need Frontpage help

[Devorah]

Hi. When I edit my website in FP (2002) do I use the 'save' to save the
pages edited or publish to web?

Why I ask is I have always used the save when editing pages but
sometime on certain pages a box will pop up and say that the page
already exists and asks if I want to replace with the existing page. I
can only click to save it as a replacement page and then it goes through
saving all images over again plus the updates I just made. At other
times on certain pages it will just save the page without asking me to
replace the whole page. So I am wondering if I should be using the
publish to web every time I update...would this make a difference. I
also notice that when I update my website days will go by without any
customer activity whereas previous to the updates customer activity is
high. I am almost wary of updating my site anymore because I know it
means 3-4 days will go by without any customer activity but I need to
keep my products updated.

Please advise if I am doing something wrong and what I can do to
correct it.

Thank you in advance,
Devorah

You have to save pages "before" you publish them if you're working on your local web on
your machine.

If working live on the server, just click Save.

When creating a new page, you should use File | Save As. When editing an
existing page, use File | Save or click the floppy icon to save. If you
where to use File | Save As when editing a page, Front Page thinks you are
creating a new page. That's why you get the pop-up for replacing an
existing page.

Once you have the page saved to your HDD, you can publish to your web.
