I have a website at www.GarciaAluminum.com that I built
and have maintained for about 5 years, with FrontPage2002
(initially 2000)
A month or so ago, I tried to open the version on my own
hard disc to modify it.
Frontpage opened the index.htm file, showed it for about
10 seconds then gave me the message

"Microsoft FrontPage has encountered a problem and needs
to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

Same happens whenever I try to open any page on the site.

I maintain another, smaller, site (wwwlacbromesoccer.ca)
and have no problems wiht it.

How can I open my GarciaAluminum site files?
Thanks for any help you can offer
 
Hi Neil,

Sorry, not sure what the problem is, it does sound as if
the file is corrupt however.

Have you thought about importing your website back off the
internet to provide you with a fresh copy on your hard
disc to work on?

Just an idea.

Regards
Steve
 
Before you open FP:
1) In Windows Explorer Find and delete all FP Temp Files
2) In Windows Explorer Find and delete all hidden *.web files
Then use File Open Web and browse to the local folder containing your web if it is disc based, or use http://localhost if it is
local server based

Thanks for your idea.
I tried to import back off the website, uisng FrontPage.
all the files seem to have come in OK, but when I open the
site I get a double set of borders with hyperlinks

Can you tell me more about how to do it?
Can I FTP the web back to myslef?
Sorry to be so dumb, but I am far from expert.
Thanks for your help
 
Have you tried the usual repairs
1) In Windows Explorer Find and delete all FP Temp Files
2) In Windows Explorer Find and delete all hidden *.web files
3) In Windows Explorer Find and delete the file CMDUI.PRF
4) Disable or Uninstall any FP Addins
5) Run a Repair / Reinstall on FP & IE
6) Install all Service Packs for your OS, IE, and MS Office
