I have a very large site and am having problems opening it up live to edit. www.thecalicocat.com I have saved all of my image folders as sub-webs. I still have the pages in the root directory. Do I need to move the pages into the sub-webs also? If so, then my include pages won't work. I use FP 2000 and Windows ME. I really don't want to give up the edit live feature and go to ftp'ing. That is the reason why I love FP.
 
It's seams you have hit a mile stone, it may be time move
to a windows pro version so you can test your pages
locally ...i asume thats why you editing live pages? Once
your done testing you publish.
You may also want to try setting up content editors so
you can edit your pages in a web browser.

I am not sure but it seems to me that there is an option in publishing that
will delete any files no-longer present in the sub-directories you are
publishing from. I would create a new sub-directory/web-site under FP with
your newly re-designed web/sub-web structure and publish that. The usual
rules about testing apply. If in doubt get a test live website setup
someplace and "break it" instead of the production site. I have been told
that ME doesn't have the personal web-server and won't run Win98SE's
version, so your stuck with setting up a "real" server-based testsite on
another machine/renting some space from your ISP.

It seems to me that when you create a sub-directory FP asks you if it is a
sub-web. But what I am un-certain about is when you move pages down there
and save them, does it re-calc the links as well as copy all the images into
the \images folder.....
