I am trying to get my web files from one computer to another. I can't transfer it via Front page from my server to the new computer without losing my themes. I tried to transfer the files on a cd, but Front page won't import them.

What am I doing wrong?
 
Open the server version in FrontPage
using the new computer.
Select File > Publish and publish from the server
to a location on the new computer.

Meg -

Use File | Publish to get the website from your server to the new
computer.

Does the remote server have the FP extensions installed?

If not, then the configuration info for the themes and navigation is not
available since when you uploading to a server that doesn't have the FP
extensions, the configuration info is not transferred.

You will have to re-apply the theme and re-build the navigation structure.

Option 1:
Open the site in FP and then File Menu | Web to a folder on your HD, then
copy the files to the CD.
Note: Any function that requires a web server or the FP extensions, will not
function on a CD.

Option 2:
You can download and use | cdweb/cdit.exe |
<http://listserv.shu.edu/~franciru/msfrontpage/frontpage.htm>

Strictly, CD-IT is an add-in for Microsoft FrontPage 2000 users which
simplifies the process of publishing a web to blank CD media (CDR or CDRW).
It is a five-step wizard with built in verification features which prevent
the occurrence of known problems. CD-IT is also intelligent enough not to
publish those folders which are used only by Microsoft FrontPage 2000 for
configuration purposes. This can save valuable data space on your CD.

Option 3:
A 3rd approach is to use one of the utilities which are available to allow
sites to be downloaded and viewed offline.
I use WebReaper (<http://www.webreaper.net/>).
A "reaped" site ends up looking offline almost exactly as it does online,
with almost all of its FP features intact. Indexing doesn't work, but it is
almost the only commonly used FP feature that will appear to be broken.

Option 4:
Or see <http://www.microsoftfrontpage.com/content/ARTICLES/fp_to_cdrom.html>

Option 5:
Send Spicy Cajun Food for all this help...
