Attached DWTs

Is there a way to find out which html pages are attached to a given DWT? I
know it's easy the other way round....

TIA,

Dan

Well - I have several DWTs with differing functionality depending on which
type of page they're attached to, and each DWT is attached to several pages.
Short of opening each page and going Format|Dynamic Web Template|Open
Attached Dynamic Web Template, for each html page, I don't know of another
way to find out what's attached to which, if you get my drift, and I hoped
there was a quick way to get that info. Reports SHOULD (I think) reveal
this, but, odd thing is, if I open Reports for the site, it shows 0 files
associated with DWTs, when in fact there are many pages associated with of a
number of DWTs.

Any suggestions gratefully received and acknowledged

Do a sitewide search for the DWT filename?

As suggested use the FrontPage search to look for pages attached to an
individual DWT.
Look for

name.dwt" -->

and repeat for each DWT used.

Each page with DWT attached has a line similar to <!-- #BeginTemplate
"dwt/site.dwt" --> after the <head> tag where dwt/site.dwt is the relative
path and name for the attached DWT.

If you are editing a server based site with FP extensions the reports will
not list any DWTs, or pages linked to a DWT - this report will only produce
results in a Disk Based web, or a SharePoint Services web.

That report is unreliable at best. Even on a disk-based Web site, it is not
reliable.

JIMCO is currently working on an add-in that will provide this functionality
reliably.

Only time I have seen it not report the right DWT is on a server based site (obviously un supported)
- other DBW I have opened w/ multiple DWTs in the webs all seem to get reported ok

I checked it immediately before posting on one of my DBWs in which all pages
are attached to a DWT. It showed only two pages attached to a DWT. That
has been my consistent experience.
