I have a web that I developed I FrontPage 4.0 I now have
a new PC with FrontPage 2002. I moved the entire web to
the new machine and can open it in FrontPage 2002, but as
as soon as I try to open any of the pages it crashes with
an error that has no useful information.

Is there an update/conversion utility for the web? Am I
missing someting? Has anyone else had this problem?

Regards

Ian
 
There is not conversation or update needed, you just open the web.

How did you move the web?

What were the errors messages?

In general the best approach is to always publish between machine or publish
the live site down to new machine.

I simply copied the entire folder "myweb7" from one
machine to the other then tried to open it.

The error message really gave me no information just the
standard error reporting for XP that reports no answer at
this time.

I don't know how to publish between machines, I'll look
that up but if you have any more suggestions I would
really appreciate that.

Best Regards

How did you copy the folder between machines? Did you use a CD?

If you used a CD, then you need to open the folder with the web on the new
machine in Windows Explorer and remove all read-only attributes from all
folders and files, then open the web in FP.

If you current have the site publish to hosting services that has the FP
extensions, then it is best to open that site directly on the remote server
in FP using File Menu | Open Web, and enter your URL as
http://www.yourdomainname.com, then enter your login info, click ok, then
click Open, then File Menu | Publish Web and enter a path to a folder
already created on your HD for this web.
