Front Page 2000 -- Problem Saving File on Large Web

[Daniel R. Vice]

I'm having an issue with FrontPage 2000 on a Windows XP Professional
machine. We are opening a web (fairly large web -- approx 30MB) on a
remote web server, making a change to an HTML file, and attempting to
save the file. After clicking the save button, the little arrow/globe
icon in the status bar continues to spin, but it seems as if the file
saves immediately. When we click the stop button (round red button
with white '+' mark), Front Page prompts us to do a "Save As" on the
same file, even though it's already been saved. FrontPage does
eventually "stop" the save process, but it has taken up to an hour for
this to happen.

Another thing I noted is that when the save button is clicked, the
status bar shows a file path similar to the following:
C:\DOCUME~1\<username>\LOCALS~1\Temp\FrontPageTempDir\wpe<somenumber>.tmp.
When I looked in that directory, the file referenced did not exist.

Anyway, if someone has seen this problem, or can point me in the
direction of some assistance, it would be greatly appreciated.

Try closing FrontPage, deleting all the files in the
C:\DOCUME~1\<username>\LOCALS~1\Temp\FrontPageTempDir\ folder, and deleting
all the .web files on yuor disk.

Recalculating hyperlinks in both sites wouldn't hurt, and breaking this
large Web into several smaller subwebs would help prevent future recurrences.

I asked this question once before, but then my newsgroup reader left the
planet or something so if it got answered, I never saw it, so here it is
again.

What exactly does recalculating hperlinks do? I've seen it mentioned
often as something to try for various problems, but have never known its
purpose.

The Recalculate Hyperlinks command does the following:

- Repairs all hyperlinks in your Web
- Updates information for all FrontPage-based components,
including shared borders and navigation bars
- Synchronizes Web data, database information, and categories

Thanks to everyone for your input. It turns out that our problem was
with our network card...it was not propery detecting the network
speed. Therefore, the PC was not efficiently accessing the network,
resulting in a much reduced network speed.

Thanks again.
