I followed the directions. Exactly....
But....
I opened a page (my index)...
saved it as a dynamic web page . with the ending .dwt.
I published my web site.

It opened with the old htm index file.
So i then saved the dwt file as a htm file
It still would not update the picture I put into the shared boarders file at
the top of the page. I am pulling my hair out fp refuses to change the
picture. Its a new picture on every page in my computer but when the web is
published it is still the old picture at the website.


Can someone please help?
 
Did you apply the DWT to your index.htm page?
The DWT only does updated when working with Disk-based web or against a
server running SharePoint, it doesn't work against server running the FP
extensions.

I bet the remote Web site is running the FrontPage Server
Extensions, and that you publish by HTTP.

If so, when you publish your Web, the FrontPage client
sends only the updated .dwt file to the Web server. The
FrontPage Server Extensions are then supposed to replicate
the .dwt file to each page that attaches that tempplate.

Unfortunately, because the FrontPage Server Extensions
predate DWTs, the extensions don't maintain a proper cross-
reference of pages that use each DWT. As a result, DWT
changes don't propagate as they should.

This is a guess, but try this as a workaround:

1. Open your local Web site.
2. Click View, Reports, Shared Content,
Dynamic Web Templates.
3. Click the Dynamic Web Template column heading.
This sorts the report by template.
4. Select all the files that use the template you
updated, then right-click the selection and choose
Publish Selected Files from the shortcut menu.
