raysmith@swbell.net -> Moving FrontPage to Vista (3/2/2007 20:42:17) I have been using FrontPage 2002 for a few years to maintain our groups WEB site. Now I have just bought a new Vista computer. I have installed FrontPage 2002 and loaded my backup (form USB drive) of my WEB directories. (I had just XCOPYed all the directories and subdirectories from My Documents). But when I try to open these copied files on my new computer I don't see the shared borders or thel ink menus in those borders. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help.

jaybee -> RE: Moving FrontPage to Vista (3/2/2007 21:04:08) Welcome to Outfront Ray. I'm not sure that FP2002 works on Vista, a lot of software doesn't. I'll have a look round and see if I can find out for sure.

jaybee -> RE: Moving FrontPage to Vista (3/2/2007 21:28:40) Well it sort of works but there are problems. There are quite a few reports about FP2002 and 2003 shutting down when you insert a hyperlink. They've submitted bug reports but whether anything will be done given Expression is now the current product. The only thing I can suggest is Make sure you open the site as a site File>open site. Try recalculating the hyperlinks and see if that will help. Make sure you have all the folders, including the hidden ones. FP sets up stuff like _borders but you can't see them in FP folder view. You only see them in Explore if you have it set to show hidden files and folders.

BobbyDouglas -> RE: Moving FrontPage to Vista (3/3/2007 0:55:58) It sounds like you didn't copy all of the files. If you have already published the website, and it still works, you can do a reverse publish back to your computer.
