So how do you import a website to a computer that the website did not originate on? Step by step Open the web by clicking " File - Open" In the " File name" box type " http://www.yourdomain.com" Enter your logon & password when prompted Once the site is open in Frontpage click " File - Publish web For the address to publish to enter a destination on your harddrive IE: C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name\My Documents\My Webs You should now have a complete copy of the web you can work on.

Thanks. Tippie (in reply to sity)

You may also import .htm (or .html) files created in other programs like Calendar Maker. _____________________________ Enjoy! It' s your endeavor! http://www.anthemwebs.com (in reply to sity)

It started with the home ( index ) page and followed every link, image, file, etc. within the same domain. In FrontPage 2003 Beta. The import function does nothing like that. I am an expert FP webmaster and have yet to figure out what has happened. The import function was great IN THE PAST because it allowed you to provide a proper report on the current status of a web to prospective clients who had websites built using html pages. Hopefully the Beta is the problem and not a deliberate change by MS. ANy comments or suggestions would be appreciated Thumbnail Image Attachment (1) (in reply to sity)

Here are some outside shareware/freeware utilities to do site importing with: htcopy at http://www.httrack.com/ - sophisticated w/ forum, etc. open s/w superbot at http://www.sparkleware.com free for up to 100 files at a time, else has reg. fee.
