I've lost the source website - how do I download editable pages?

[Hilary from New Zealand]

Okay - foolish I know, but I have lost the most recent source for my website
- it was on a flashdrive that died. I didn't realise I didn't have the
latest version on my hard drive too... :-I

I am using FrontPage 2002. How do I download the pages back from the Server
- and in a format so I can edit them?

If your website on the server has FrontPage Server Extensions enabled and
working you'd open THAT with FP and "reverse" publish to a location on your
hardrive.

Thanks for your reply )

I ended up importing the files from the website on the server, this worked
fine. I knew it should be simple - just couldn't find what I needed to do
very easily - but once I sussed it, it was a piece of cake.

Thanks again.

You should Publish as Rob said - Importing often leaves files on the
website that are required. These files are those that are not linked to
directly from the Home and subsequent pages. Pages and files only
linked to in script (such as JavaScript), Shared Border files, form
results files are among those that will be left behind when importing.

If you don't use any of these files then your Import may be successful.
