Pages are losing their content - 7/12/2005 15:26:55
HELP I created a part of my site using FrontPage 2003. I uploaded everything via FTP to my server.
All is well. It works fine.
Today, I needed to edit a few things on some of the pages. I also wanted to add Press Release pages and change some of the services pages I was using.
Well, I had a service page looking really good. I saved it and everything was fine. I then deleted the original page. I did this to a second page.
I also inserted my header page into all of the press release pages and the new services pages.
So now I went in to preview the site in browser, and lo and behold, the header is gone on every single page as well as the conten from the two services pages I had created. 
I down loaded the original two pages and the header file/page from my server. I was able to regain the content on the two pages. But the header keeps opening as a regular template looking page with all of the spots to add navigation to it, etc.
I had an old site I had been doing, with the same header in it. So I imported that file into my site and named it header, put it in the includes file, and it looks good.
As long as the file was open, I could put the header into the pages. So that was good. Until I closed out of FrontPage and reopened it. The header is gone AGAIN!
I could just cry, because after eight months, this site is ready to go live, and now this!
Please, does anyone have any idea what to do to fix this?
By the way, the original site has been created by hand, by me. To insert the press release pages and the new services pages, I added the corporate template to my site, deleted all the unnecessary pages including the index page which didn't have anything to do with my site.
Could the file for the template be corrupt or something?
Do I need to reinstall FrontPage.
I have been working on this for the past eight hours and I am getting nowhere! 
HELP PLEASE!!!

They are all at the same level.

The problem I am having is on my computer. Whenever I change something, the content disapears.
The site itself is OK right now, because I haven't tried uploading any of the new files.
The problem is in FrontPage itself.

I ftp'd because when I attempted to publish it through Front Page I kept getting errors.
I can't remember what they were now, but nothing I did worked.
After initially uploading with the FTP everything works. But when I uploaded a changed file, I had to do it to three different locations: _overlay/_vti, the root directory, and _derived.
The problem I am having now with content disappearing is happening in the site in FrontPage.
I put it in, save, close out of it, and when I open the file again, the content is gone. The only things left are the side include page, and the footer.

I'm confused because when I first did the ftp everything was fine. The site still is actually.
Forgive my ignorance, but I really am not sure if I am using shared borders.
How do I know?

Do you mean the losing the content? My computer is the only place I am having problems with.
The content doesn't even stay on the FP created pages long enough for me to upload it to my site.

OK, I took one of my pages, opened it in notepad, and made a minor change to it, and saved it with a different name.
If I view it locally in the browser it looks fine, even the header is there.
However, when I open it in FrontPage, the header is gone.
So far, the content is still there, even where I made my changes.
But I tried to create a brand new page, and once again, lost the content.
I thought about reinstalling Front Page, but I'm afraid that if I uninstall it first, I will lose it all.

The source code says that the header is fine. This is what it shows for one of the pages:
<!--webbot bot="Include" U-Include="includes/header.htm" TAG="BODY" startspan -->
<b><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" width="100%" id="table1">
<tr>
<td width="100%" BACKGROUND="includes/nv_bg.gif"><font size="6"><b>

<img border="0" src="includes/usa_animated_flag.gif" width="161" height="90"><b><font face="Georgia" size="5" color="#000080">
<img border="0" src="includes/mvnlogoweb120x110.gif" width="120" height="110"></font></b><p>
<b><font face="Georgia" size="5" color="#000080">The

OK, now this is getting totally strange.
I looked at the entire site again in my browser, and now it appears that all is good. The header is even showing up properly.
I didn't do anything, or change anything, so I am really confused.
What worries me, is that this is going to happen again.
What I would like to do now, is try to upload it to my site using Front Page, question is, do I need to delete all of the files I put on the site originally, or will these files just overwrite the ones on the site?

I am using FrontPage for most everything except of course the php portion of the site.
The header was made using frontpage and the navigational buttons were also from the sites theme in front page.
I want to try to upload again using FrontPage instead of ftp, but I don't know if I should delete the old stuff first or not.

So far so good. I took one file, and copied and renamed it, uploaded through frontpage and it works fine.
Do I dare risk it to try the whole thing?
