| Stefan:
|
| Thanks very much for your prompt reply!! I was surprised to get help so
| quickly.
|
| Unfortunately, there is no improvement. In respect to your points:
|
| 1. I'm an acronym guy, but I'm not familiar with FrontPage SE?
|
| 2. Already ran Detect and Repair twice. Tried it again, no help.
|
| 3. Already tried this numerous times, but I tried it again just to be sure.
| No help.
|
| 4. I've already published the site down to a new back-up on another
| computer. Worked fine. However, I've put many hours into revising the
| pages, and really don't want to start all over again, especially without
| knowing what the problem is. Chances are that I might get to the same point,
| and have the same problem, thus having wasted all the time to re-do
| everything I've done, only to end up back where I started. Of course, if
| there is no solution, I'll have to do just that...however, something
| obviously went wrong, and i'd like to know what.
|
| Thanks for trying to help me. Much appreciated!!
|
| Any other ideas? I have tried rebuilding hyperlinks and text indices,
| thinking there was a fundamental break somewhere, but that was no help either.
|
| By the way, in the Publish screen, when I point the remote site to my hard
| disk back-up, the window is empty...however, at the bottom of the page, where
| it says to "View your remote site", when I click there, it opens a window
| showing me all my files and folders. It seems like FP is seeing stuff
| sometimes, but not when it counts.
|
| Thanks again,
| S.
