Major Nav. Problem

[Mark K]

I am having a major problem with FP2002. I have been
adding new pages to my website and grouping them in
catagories and putting in custom navagation so you can
navagate to other pages within the spicific group. I Have
been doing this all weekend with no problem till now. I
have created 3 pages (I'll call them Testpage1.htm
Testpage2.htm and testpage3.htm) and have saved them to
the server. I then add them to my navagation tree to
allow some shared theme elements to appear. I can type
the address to the pages into my browser and view them
fine. I right click on the page in the Nav tree and look
at the properties and the properties show the correct
pages. Then I go to insert; navagation; bar with custom
links. I create a link bar with links to all 3 pages and
a home link and it appears on my page fine. But when
I "save" something goes wrong. First off FP locks up. I
have to shut it down and restart the program. Then when I
restart FP I go to "open" and look for the pages, all 3
are gone. They are still on the server because I can see
them using an FTP program. I can also type them into my
IE browser and view them (the inserted navagation doesn't
show up) but to FP they don't exist. I go to the
navagation view and their nav. page is still there but
when I right click the "properties" field is grayed out
because FP doesn't have them linked to a page. I have
deleted the files 3 times and started from scratch. I
have even made up different name for the files but
nothing seems to work. I can keep creating pages fine but
when I add a navagation bar all the pages that I include
in the navagation bar seem to "disapper" to FP. Very
frustrated please help

1) In Windows Explorer Find and delete all FP Temp Files
Usually in C:\WINDOWS\Temp and
C:\Documents and Settings\<USER>\Local Settings\Temp
2) In Windows Explorer Find and delete all hidden *.web files
Usually in C:\Documents and Settings\<USER>\Application Data\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache
3) Open you site in FP and run Tools Recalculate Hyperlinks then try adding your page(s)
