Can we save corrupt FP program files?

After I attempt to load up one of my FP programs (that I modify and publish
almost daily), FP locks up. Because my other programs load ok, I'm assuming
that something somehow got corrupted in one (or, many) of the associated
files with the program that causes FP to go into limbo..

Is there more testing I can do to see which file(s) it might be? Is there
some way to possibly try to reconstruct the corrupted file(s)?

I appreciate your assistance,

Palmer
 
Run the repair function under Help.

I appreciate your quick reply.... and, I did not know about that Repair
function... thanks.

However, it appears that it will attempt to repair the current loaded ap....
but, I can't get that ap to load up without locking up FP.. (??)

Is there a way to point FP at those files without actually loading them up?

Thanks,

Palmer
 
You can do it from Control Panel | Add/Remove.

Which FrontPage and OS version??
If the Os is 2K or XP have you checked the event logs??

Also which "app" are you trying to launch in FrontPage, an addin, a standard system app??

By "program" do you mean web site?
If so, download FPcleaner from www.95isalive.com/fixes and run the
routines (except
"Change the Open Last Web setting"), check for correct operation of
FrontPage before running "Restore Default Toolbars and Menus", which
will reset any toolbar customisations.
 
Awesome.... downloaded FPcleaner... ran all but "Change the Open Last We
setting" - and, it found a BUNCH of "things" it didn't like and moved them
to Recyle Bin... Restarted FP and my ap (web site) loaded up and is running
just fine... And, so far, I can't see anything missing..

THANKS A LOT,

Palmer

I have NEVER been disappointed when I've asked for help in this NG.. You
guys are super.

Thanks again,

Palmer

PS I understand that the newest Rev of FP is much more "robust"... Should
I upgrade?? (Probably a very dumb question to ask MVPs of MS... lol) But,
I'm serious... I'm of the old school that suggests that "if it ain't broke
- don't try to fix it... "
 
It you are currently happy with the version you are using and do not expect to use any of the newer
features, then there is no reason to upgrade.

If you are using FP2002 and any of the webbot components, they remain basically unchanged in FP2003

I agree this is one of the best ngs I hang out on..and the least caustic.
I'm still using FP2002 but am on the verge of upgrading...any free day now.
 
I've been using 2000 for "years"... but, I also don't expect much out of it
other than easily putting up an informative and somewhat interesting club
web site... If any of you have time please look at http://www.ofgc.net and
tell me if you see where the latest version of FP could help me..

Thanks,

Palmer
 
I am still using FP2000 for all development. The version of FP you use will not effect how your site
is viewed in a browser (well it shouldn't).

resintall frontpage - if that's what you mean by "possibly try to
reconstruct the corrupted files".
