website opens with directory instead of index page

[Guest]

I updated from Frontpage 2000 to Frontpage 2003. I opened my website after
working on it in vs. 03 and it opens on a list of files. You have to click
on the actual name of the folder the index page is in to get it to open up.
How do I correct this?

Your index page has to be named one of the following;
index.htm, index.html, default.htm, default.html
Check with your host to see which one they require.
The index page should reside in the root directory of your web.

The index page shouldn't be in a folder in your web, it needs to be in the top level or "root"
folder.
