No
The root web must have been published or created under the FP SE in order for a subweb to be created or published under it in FP
- your host needs to support and apply the FP SE on the server in order for you to use them
- if you have been using FTP, they are corrupt and need to be reapplied by your host
If you are working on your local web as say ...My Webs/xxxx/, then xxxx is the rootweb

| Thank you,
|
| I think I will need to read some 'how-to's' on 'publishing' before I proceed
| much further - up until now I had simply used FP for creating & editing
| basic pages! Therefore FP has never been 'told' that .....My
| Webs/xxxx/index.htm is the root of this website - and I don't know how to
| tell it - or whether I should at this advanced point!!
|
| One last query - do I understand correctly - having a site which has around
| 60MB content so far that has simply been placed on the server via FTP - i.e.
| never 'published' and now would like a Guest Book requiring Extensions -
| instead of trying to publish the whole site from index.htm onward - can I
| establish the Guest Book as a sub web (i.e. mysite/GuestBook) & simply
| 'publish' that?
|

| | To expand on that, you don't want to publish any of the discussion files
| that were created on your local because it will overwrite the file that was
| created/modified by FP on your server and the replaced files will go to
| cyber heaven. Edit the file directly online, and if you need to back it up,
| publish just that 1 file to your local system.
