I am using MS FP 2002 (5.0). A friend asked me to upgrade
his FP 4.0 site. I am unable to boot it up: when I use
Open Web and navigate to the folder it does not have any
files (though the files are there and appear in My
Computer) It seems to have a totally different files
and file structure.

FP 2002 MS XP
 
Hi Bill,

They are compatible. Are the FP extension files there, e.g., _vti_xxxxx? If not, it was built one file at a time instead of as a
web.
 
no _vti_xxxxx files. The folder is a plain folder not a
FP web folder (the one with what looks like a small world
on it.
I now have figured out how to open the Index html
document but there is nothing displayed in Folders,
Reports, Navigation, Hyperlinks or Tasks. I can only
access 1 file at a time.
Am I going to have to completely recreate this web from
scratch?

You should be able to use Open Web to navigate to the folder containing the web that is not a web yet, then click on it to open - FP should prompt you to create a web out of it - let it.
