I'm moving a site for a client from one hosting company's server to anothers.
I don't use Frontpage so I can't "Publish" the site. Is there a feature in
Frontpage my client can use to recreate the FP site index after I push up the
files?

Thanks for any help with this.
 
I assume you're talking about the "home" page i.e. index.html file? It is
just a normal page. Create it in Frontpage like any other.
 
If the existing FrontPage website uses FrontPage extensions it must be
published from one site to the other. Any other way of copying may
stop the site functioning.
The site indexes (extensions meta data) comprise multiple files that
are unique to each server, these have to be rebuilt on the new server,
which is accomplished by the publishing process.

It would be better if your client published the site from the existing
location to the new.
 
Thanks for that info. I was hoping there was a way to re-establish the
indeces meta data without having to republish. The site was originally
created in FrontPage by the previous webmaster but he switched to Dreamweaver
before handing the account over to me. My clients now use Contribute to
update content on the site. The FP site indexes are probably not important,
but I thought it would be good to have that option.

Thanks again for that clarification.

Michael
