Can't access shared borders for editing

I was publishing changes on my web site and my Internet connection got
interrupted. Then my computer locked up and I had to do a cold start. Now
when I try to edit my web site the header, left side, and right side shared
borders don't show up as they should, just the center portion. I downloaded
my site to my computer just to make sure I don't lose it, but am stuck. I
can make edits to the site with WS_FTP and rewriting the code by hand, but
not with FrontPage.

Now when I try to access my site to make further edits I get the following
two messages.

"An error occurred accessing your FrontPage web files. Authors - if
authoring against a web server, please contact the webmaster for this
server's site. Webmasters please see the server's system log for more
details."

After clicking OK, the following message comes up.

"The server "" timed out. The current request did not complete
successfully.

I hope I've been specific enough about what happened. Could someone please
help me fix this? It would be much appreciated!

Shared borders and Include Pages are design time tools w/ the content (inside the <BODY> tags) of the Shared Border or Include page
"embedded" or included as html in your pages when you save any of the file(s) using them (or save the borders / include pages
themselves)
- you actually don't need them in a live web (unless you are going to edit the site online in FP)
But if you FTP your site you will lose all FP meta data and the design time shared borders
- recreate them

FP converts your page(s) to a series of tables to include the Shared borders, (which are really just a special case of Include
pages)
But FP can not build those tables if either your shared border page content or main page content has illegal html or broken tag
pairs
- usually due to missing </body></html> tags, or unmatched table / cell tags (unclosed table / cell tags), or some other unclosed
html block element

If you can see them using File Preview in Browser they will publish in as part of your pages

If you can't see them using File Preview in Browser, it's because FP can not build the included content tables, so you need to
validate and correct your broken html
