Import file generates error

[Chip Cooper]

I have FP2000 installed on a Windows 2000 machine. Up
until just recently, I've not had this error. I'm working
on the local copy of the web site, which is what I do
before publishing. I store, for members of my Rotary
Club, the current Roster & Membership Attendance in .xls
format. Normally, I just import the appropriate .xls
files into the local web, then publish. However, lately
I'm getting and error dialog.
"An error occurred accessing your FrontPage web files.
Authors - if authoring against a web server [which I don't
believe that I am] please contact the webmaster for this
server's site [whom I am] Webmaster's see the server's
system log for more details."

The system log says:
Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions:
Received empty response from Microsoft FrontPage Server
Extensions
Which to my knowledge I didn't have on this system, or did
but am not using for this particular web.

Note:
The directory for the working website is stored on a Win
98 machine on the local network just acting like a file
server and the file is also located on the same machine.
So basically, the program, running on one machine, loads
the website from a Win98 server and has to import the file
from another directory on that same machine.

Have recently seen this too on disc based webs
In spite of the error FP imports the files
- but you have to select cancel to get out of the Import Dialog
- and you need to run a Tools Recalculate Hyperlinks to see / use the imported files
Then when you go to close the web/site you get another error telling you there are still files on the import list (you need to
cancel that or you stay in a loop)
