If you publish to an empty folder the 1st time FP is creating the Web as if publishes
Anytime you open a different site
(than the one you published to/from initially)
- FP will want to publish the entire site

| Hi
|
| I downloaded all the files with my ftp client to a folder on my computer and
| then opened the folder in Front Page (got a message about fp needing to add
| files for all to work) accepted this and then did a publish back to a local
| folder on my computer - however, when I chose to publish to local folder I
| did not get any question about converting this to a website - have I done
| something wrong?
|
| I opened then this local copy and opened the remote site in fp (FTP), I
| amended a file for testing but when I choose view files to publish
| (publishing is set to publish changed pages only) I am getting a whole load
| of other files that are to be published.
|
| I do not want to publish as I am afraid that I might sabotage the actual
| "live" webbsite - grateful for any help..
|
| Thanks...
