There may be corruption in your meta data in your local or remote site that FP can't resolve
First do some clean up
1) In Windows Explorer Find and delete all FP Temp Files
- Usually in C:\WINDOWS\Temp and/or %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp
- In FP 2003 look in the super hidden folder
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\FrontPageTempDir
- also clear your IE TIF folder if you don't do so regularly
2) In Windows Explorer Find and delete all hidden web cache files (*.web)
- Usually in %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache
Next force FP to update your structure in both sites
Open your local site in FP, View Navigation, change anything (add a page), run Tools Recalculate Hyperlinks, close site
Open your remote site in FP, View Navigation, change anything else, run Tools Recalculate Hyperlinks
Note: this nav change will be the one that rules in both sites, so after the 1st change, do it again to get it back to what you want
and rerun the Recalc
Now try to publish your remote to your local (changed pages only)
- because of the above changes, FP should prompt you about navigation changes
Select the middle option (replace navigation)

| I feel that all of you well intentioned "advisors" are leading me into an
| ever ending circle. I have submitted an extremely detailed description of my
| problem.
|
| IN CONCLUSION: I have no problem connecting with my remote web site , as
| described earlier. I have no problem executing a downloading of my remote
| web site to my local computer folder. The progress box indicates the
| downloading of all my .html files; overlays; themes; images ;multimedia is
| successful . Then the "Processing Web Updates " begins and after several
| minutes , the processing stops and "The Error Message" appears. The process
| is 75 % complete , what is lacking , is the downloading of the Navigational
| Structure. PLEASE FOCUS ON THIS . Why is the Nav. Structure omitted. at the
| 75 % stage of processing.????? .
