Preview view problem

[Guest]

My first time on this fourm. Here's my problem. I made my website with FrontPage 2000. Last week I got the 2003 upgrade and installed it. My site looks perfect in the new Design view and also when I tested it in the browser view. In the Preview view it looks good but no internal links function.

One thing is strange in the Preview mode. When I place my mouse pointer over a link to another page of the site, I get this: File:///C:/Documents and Settings/My Documents/My Webs/biology_of_baldness.htm. All the links have this same file name but of course with different page names like: /nutrition.htm, /dandruff.htm, and /stem_cell_research.htm. I never had a file name like this on my original FrontPage 2000-created site. Could the file name be part of the problem

I'm afraid to publish any new content because of this problem. I hope some guru can give me a hint about what to do

open the site with fp 2003 and hit tools/ recalculate hyperlinks. see if
that helps

My problem is still not solved. I of course tried the Recalculate Hyperlinks in the magical believe that if I did it again all would work out. It didn't.

I want to restate my problem clearly. The site that I made with FP 2000 is simple - no advanced functionality. After I installed the 2003 FP upgrade, my site looked exactly the way it was before, but given a new name by default - c:/Documents and Settings/Owner/My Documents/My Webs. I changed My Webs to Modern. In the Design view everything is perfect. In the Site Summary there are zero Broken Links and zero Unlinked Files

When I click the Preview view, though, even though the site looks exactly the same as in the Design view, none of the links work. I cannot navigate from page to page. When I place the mouse pointer over a link I see at the bottom of the screen the same default name - c:/Documents and Settings/Owner/etc., but with File:/// in front of the c: Could this have anything to do with the problem.

It's really strange that I'm having a problem with FP 2003 in the first week. I had no problems ever with the 2000 version. I like the 2003 version a lot but I want to get this problem straigtened out before I start to experiment with the new stuff.

FP upgrades do not rename webs
Explain
"but given a new name by default - c:/Documents and Settings/Owner/My Documents/My Webs"
- that location just happens to be the default for new webs (disc based), an d may have been where your prior version default web
site was

How did you change the web name "I changed My Webs to Modern" ?
The only way to rename a web is to publish it to a new location
- did you just rename it in Windows Explorer?
- if so, run a File Open web and browse to the "new" web location / name (when it open run a tools recalculate hyperlinks)

You should open see the File:/// type links if the pages have not been saved

The "problem" with filenames should not be a problem when the site is
published. FP2003 displays the full protocol://path/filename for links
in preview.
