Saving directly to the web

[Guest]

It used to work like this:

I'd open internet explorer and go to my website. I'd click on the frontpage
icon on whatever page I wanted to make changes to and that page would load in
frontpage. When I was done I'd close front page and it would ask if I wanted
to save, which I would and it would save directly on the website.

I downloaded the entire site... made a few changes and then published the
changed pages. I noticed it publishing a few other things as well, but I'm
not sure what they were, they looked like files in the other folders that
frontpage puts there for whatever reason.

So now, if I go to my website and click the frontpage icon it still brings
the page up in frontpage, but when I go to save it it asks for a location on
my computer, instead of saving it directly to the web. Is there any way to
fix that?

Open your remote web using FrontPage instead of opening from the browser.
File > Open Site and enter the http:// address of the web.

That didn't do it either. It asked if I want to save changes to:
http://www.blahblahblah.com but when I say yes it brings up the window to
choose a place to save to on my computer. It's really rather annoying.

Does the site have the FP extensions installed, if not then you can not save change back to it.

Which web are you now opening when you open FrontPage??

If you want to save directly to the server, you need to make sure you've opened the server version to edit and not the
version on your machine.

I assume it's opening the one on the server as I am clicking on the front
page icon in internet explorer while I'm on the website.

That opens the page but if you want to open the site correctly in FrontPage
then open FrontPage and chose File, Open Site, http://www.yoursite.com

I don't have an Open Site option. I have Open and Open Web.

Open Web and Open Site are the same thing - it just depends on what version
of FrontPage you're using.

Open Web. Open Site is what it's called in FrontPage 2003

Open Web doesn't do it for me. Is it possible the frontpage extensions are
corrupted? Does anyone know the process of how it all works?

When you chose Open Web what happens? Do you get an error message? If so
contact your web host and make sure the FrontPage Extensions are installed
or ask them to repair them.
