IrisRose,

Sounds like you're working outside of FP.(with Windows Explorer possibly)

Open your Web in FP
then
File | New Folder (create your folder here...inside of FP)
then
Move your files into this new FP folder. If stuff is outside of FP drag or Import it into the FP folder that you just created.

When you have everything in that folder that you want in your subweb, right click on that folder and Convert to Subweb will be a choice.
 
You can't have the web open and then delete it, and on live/remote server you can not delete the
root web.

It doesn't? I thought that was the only way *to* delete a local web.
 
Thomas,

I do it all the time.
Open Web
Select the Root
Edit
Delete
Then the prompt to dump it all or just some of it.

That's local disc based...not on server.
Never tried it on server.
 
Ok, I don't work with disk-based webs. However I thought this was fixed/blocked, because back in
FP98, if you made your C drive a web, you could actually delete your entire C drive when you delete
the web.

That would not be a good thing....neither is turning my entire My Documents into a web.

Then again..I bet you could *still* turn your C drive into a web...if ya tried hard enough.
 
Well this is even scarier. I am working exclusively in FP 2003. Have not
uploaded to a server. I am sure I have a "website. Front page icon and web
icon. "Web Site" on left of menu bar, which I use to go from page to page.
Index page with "home" icon, folders: images, themes, etc.
Since you introduced navigation again:
There seems to be a problem with two of my pages. I deleted top shared
border across the site, then re-included it. All pages accept the top shared
border except the index page and one other page. This index page is the one
that will not hold the navigation bars. There must be a setting gone awry on
this page--and the other.
Is there any help for this. I have been having problems for a couple of
days keeping the navigation bar on the index page. Most other pages seem to
work. I want to thank you two for trying to help this newbie. I have two
fat manuals and use FP help a lot. But this navigation glitch MAY not be my
fault.
 
Web/site folders and subweb/site folders will be marked by that cute little blue globe.

Shared borders & Themes will not cross the web/subweb "boundry" (so to speak).

If you did create a subweb the shared border from the main web will not be automatically shared you'd have to apply them specifically to the index page of the sub web or main web. Is this a possibility in your case?

Worst case...recreate the offending pages and try again.
 
I actually had two issues: navigation in the main site, and creating the
subsite pages. The offending page was not part of the subsite folders; it
was the index page to the root. (I think that is the right term.) Anyway, I
fixed that problem, finally. It was a matter of going into Shared Borders
and resetting the default settings for them.
The subsite problem at this point is a matter of my being very worried about
doing it right and not deleting something again. I will continue to try to
copy pages existing in the root site and pasting them into the subsite,
realizing that some elements must be recreated.
Thanks again.
