I have a website that is currently being hosted with FrontPage extensions,
and I would like to download the entire website to my hard drive for a major
makover. Minor updates I do in-situ, but a major overhaul seems better to do
from the local drive. So, is there a way to use FrontPage to do this, so the
resulting local files work just like the live web site, and I can do all my
editing and then upload the whole kit and kaboodle again? Note, I am using
FP2002, not XP.

Thanks,
Gordon
 
Yep, just open your "live web" like you were gonna do a minor update. Then select File | Publish Web and when prompted insert the location on your local drive you wanna Publish to.

If your're running server on local drive it will be something like:
http://localhost/yourwebname
or if your using disc-based it will be
c://my documents/my webs/yourwebname (something like that)

Then Publish away.
 
One other thought:

if "work just like the live web" involves things like
forms, databases, etc. you will have to be running server
software on your local PC. If not, have at it.
