Error Message help

[Paul Martin]

Hi I am an amatuer at programming with frontpage but have managed to build
up quite a large site without problem.

Until now that is.

When i try to pulish the site after some changes I get the following error
message

Server Error: The folder that would hold URL `pages/port
wynnstay/_overlay/frwhr.htm_nav-ng-trains-new010_vbtn.gif' does not exist on
the server

I only get the option to cancel the upload

My questions are: -

1) What does the above mean in English as opposed to techno babble?
2) How do I fix it?

I know what did. Having been told by some proffessional web designer that
spaces in web addresses were a NO NO I removed them. In the above error
message the bit with port wynnstay in has been changed to port_wynnstay.

I understand most of the message ie that it can't find that address on the
server. What i don't follow is why its even looking for it as the folder
port wynnstay no longer exists on either the local copy or on the server
copy that i can see having been changed to have the underscore instead of
the space.

Am i reading the message correctly? It says to me that it is trying to
publish that gif file from my local coy to the server and it can't, but then
I can't find that file on the local copy


Help, please

_files are hidden, to see them open your web locally and go to Tools/Websettings/General, and check Show Hidden folders.

But your problem may stem from how you changed the folder names.

Try a Recalculate Hyperlinks and try to re-Publish.

Thanks
settings were already set to show hidden folders
The recalculate seems to have sorted it out. I had never used that before

Cheers
