For years I've had issues with FrontPage forgetting my shared borders. I eventually found where they are stored (quite by accident) and can now fix them as the need arises.Lately, however, FrontPage has gone a step further and is stripping everything between the <body></body> tags when I open a page for editing.
The pages display fine in the browser, but when I open them in FrontPage this is all I get:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<title>Useful Links</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ogc.css">
<meta name="Microsoft Border" content="tl, default">
</head>
<body></body>
There is no closing </html> tag either.
If I view the source of a page from Explorer, then paste the stuff back into the body in FrontPage, I can edit and save it as I normally would, and the changes take effect.
This probably wouldn't bother me that much, except I have several hundred pages and a bunch of users with very basic skills.
It is only occurring in a couple of sites on the same server. The rest of them are fine.
Any suggestions? We'll be moving to Lotus in January but I can't leave the maintenance that long.
Thanks
