In the navigation view, I tried dragging from the main site but it's not that
smart...how do I need to do this?
 
could you explain the scenario in more depth?

Sure...

I have a main site that has a phpbb forum installed on it. I wish to place
the index.php page into the navigation include menu on my subsite. It
appears as though I cannot drap the index.php page from the main site to the
subsite navigation tree to add it to my include menu. But I cannot get my
include menu on my subsite to update unless I add the page to the navigation
in the subsite. Do I really need to hard code a link to this page in a
different location?

Is this enough info?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Dragging from the main site will not work.
In the sub-site navigation view, right click on an existing page, then
choose "Add existing page" or "Add external page" (wording varies with
FrontPage version). Type in the address for the page you are linking to
(or better - use the browse option, then FP will definitely get the
correct path). This will produce a yellow box with a globe on the bottom
left corner. Move the box to where you really want it in the
navigation. Finally, rename the page title (in the yellow box) to how
you wish it to appear on the link bars.
 
do this;
make a regular old HTML page and name it whatever you want. (give it the
page properties you need so it reflects the name of your PHP BB). the only
thing you need on this page is a meta refresh (that throws the user to your
PHP BB), drag this "fake" page to your navigation structure.
