FP 2000 - Editing Corporate Information (address/telephone)

I have created a website and have published it live with no problems about 2
years ago. Unfortunately since publishing the live site, I deleted the files
on my computer, without saving a backup (i know, not too smart).

According to my webhost I can edit the html live and make changes to my
files.

My problem is this, the information that I need to change is the cororate
address and fax number. When creating the website, I used the Corporate Web
Presence Wizard which asked for the information and then put it into the
"Contact Area" of the index.htm page.

I have tried editing this information live - however, even though the html
text shows the new address, when I look at the actual page it still shows the
old address.

Does anyone know where the Wizard stores the data so that I can go to that
particular file and edit the information there.

If this does not work, my next question is - can I create a new index.html
page (without the acutal borders and other information) and substitute it for
the old page, thus changing the address but nothing else?

Anythoughts?

Thanks,
Bridget
 
Open your web live

Sounds like it's in a shared border, which resides in the _borders
folder...as top.htm or bottom.htm..whatever.

Tools | Site Settings | Advanced ... check: Show hidden files & folders to
see the _borders folder.

Then you should Publish the site back to your local machine so you have a
copy and can work on it there (and have it as a bu)
