how do i import old web sites for use in my new copy of frontpage

[Guest]

I just bought a new copy of FrontPage 2003. I tried copying old websites from
the "My Webs" folder created by my old version. When I do that, it just made
all my separate websites folders in a single web. I want to have all of them
as separate webs. How do I do this?

If you already had the websites from a previous version of FP on your
computer there shouldn't be any importing. You should just be able to open
them just like you did in the previous version of FP that they were created
in.

Thanks, Mark. I understand that I can open them, but I have to navigate to my
old folder. I forgot to mention that I did not have an old version of
FrontPage on my home computer. I was bringing files created at work home to
use in my new FrontPage at home. Is there a way to do this without having to
navigate to the old folder which was just a copy of what I had brought home
from work?

After you navigate to it and open it, FP should note the location of it for
future. Sometimes it gets fussy on this for what reason I've never figured
out, but generally it will keep a record of the web. The only other real way
could be to create a new, blank web, then copy the files for only that web
into it when FP isn't open. I sometimes use this method over importing the
files into an empty web because, occassionally, importing can bork some of
the extensions, shared borders, etc..
