In order for the DWT to auto update you need to be running on a Server w/ the FP 2002 SE patched to support DWT

| Mark, In the past I haven't needed to upload all the other pages. They are
| all linked to the Master Template, which was designed by a professional. All
| I have ever had to do was upload the Master Template once the change was made
| and the changes would appear across the whole website. I also use sothink
| dhtml menu and when I make changes in that I know that I have to upload ALL
| html files then. However, that isn't currently updating either. When I
| first tried to update the link in the Master template a week ago, FP wasn't
| even updating the pages. It was saying 0 of 55 files updated. Then a few
| days later it worked and said 48 of 55 files updated. I have actual spoken
| to the website designer and he can't figure out why it isn't updating either.
| I did try and upload a couple of HTML pages as well as the Master template
| to see if they showed the new link, but they don't. I have also uploaded the
| pgtres files. Any ideas? Appreciate your help.
