File keeps publishing even without changes

Every time you make a change to a page, the page will be uploaded to the
server.

Rob, thank you. But in this case, it reloads even if I don't change the page
the page the link to the document is on. I'm also not making any changes to
the document itself. Any ideas?
 
Have you done an initial full publish, and then publish changed pages only?
(to make sure your client and online version are properly in synch).

Yes, I believe so. I publish the site. Everything works great. A week latter
I update an unrelated page - and the already published file downloads again
after frontpage does a file/page comparison. When I view the comparison
results myself, I can't see any differances - the file names, size, date,
everything is the same. The changed page always has a marker noting that it
needs to be down loaded, the file does not have that marker but it downloads
anyway. And the spooky part is that not every file does this - about one in
ten. I link every file with the exact same procedure since I'm a creature of
habit. But I must be missing something.
 
Any changes in common content (like shared borders / include pages) or if your page has any dynamic scripting content (to external
URLS) may do that

This occurs if you somehow copy a file into your website.
Pages either need to be created natively or imported by Frontpage.

Fix - move the file out of your website.
Publish the site without the file.
Then import the file, and republish.

You might get away with simply moving it out and recalculating and then
importing.
If not then do the above. That should clear up the problem.

Maybe someone could explain how recalculation works and the files involved.
