Open your local copy and go into remote site view.
In the View drop down (just under the Web Site tag at the top of the window)
choose "Files in Conflict"
This will list the unmatched files in the remote site window.

Hello Gentlemen,

I am having the same problem that John Blaustein was having withthe
exception that all my work was done within Frontpage 2003. I have Image
folders and have created multiple Photgalleries via the Frontpage web
component.

I deleted many of the image folders and the corresponding photogalleries.
(not the easiest task to find the correct photogallery but that is another
issue)
This morning I uploaded my site to the server (Same settings as John) but
was never prompted to remove the old files. Now I have all these old files
on the server. I know I could manually search through the folders on the
local and remote and compare but I am afraid I would
1) miss some files
or
2) worse yet delete some that need to be there.

If I use the syncronize feature will FrontPage prompt me on the different
files and folders?

Thank you for any assistance.
