Hi

I am having trouble importing my website to FrontPage.

I created a website using another program. Now, whenever I try to
import my website, I lose all directory structure. All files on my
website appear in the root directory!? I've spent the last hour
ripping my hair out.

Surely there's something I missed?

Thanks
 
Are you using File | Import? All that does is bring files into your site.
It doesn't 'know' directory structures.

Try this:
- Make a copy of your site in a new location. For this example I'll use
c:\mywebsite, but you can use whatever path is appropriate for you.
- Open FrontPage
- Click "File | Open Web..."
- Browse to c:\mywebsite and click "Open"
- You will prompted with a message stating that FrontPage needs to add
information to your folder to manage this new site. Click "Yes." (This is
why we made a copy of the original, so you still have a 'clean' copy in case
something goes wrong.)
- FrontPage will open the site and you will see a couple extra folders,
_private and images, as well as all of your original website content.

Now you have a FrontPage web...and hopefully still some of your hair. :-)
