I made a change to an item description in a table several weeks ago. Our
home office complained that I hadn't changed the description. When I look at
it in FrontPage, it's clearly changed, but for some reason the users don't
see the change. I used internet explorer to view it & sure enough, the old
description was there. I went to tools & cleared my cookies, files, &
history. Then under settings, I clicked the box to check for newer versions
every time I go to the page. After all that, the item description did change
to the updated one next time I went to the web page. However, I tried to
talk a user at the home office through that & she still can't get hers to
view the new description. PLEASE HELP!!!
 
Simply have them click on the "Refresh" (IE) "Reload current page"
(Netscape, Firefox, etc.) icon on the tool bar. You can also set your site
to always Refresh. The following was returned by FrontPage 2003 Help
1.. In Page view, at the bottom of the document window, click Design .
2.. Right-click the page, and then click Page Properties on the shortcut
menu.
3.. Click the Custom tab.
4.. Click Add.
5.. In the System Meta Variable (HTTP-EQUIV) dialog box, type REFRESH in
the name box, and then type the number of seconds in the Value box.
The number of seconds represents how frequently the browser will refresh
the contents of the page.
 
Here are a few things you can try..
Put with other meta tags in the
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">

<meta http-equiv="expires" content="0">

<META HTTP-EQUIV="expires" CONTENT="Wed, 26 Feb 1997 08:21:57 GMT">

</head>
