convert folder to web 1

[dance]

I published a web to a cd at home. Brought it to work and tried to open it. I couldn't because of the ".lck" file. So I copied it to my FP directory, deleted the .lck file, and opened it. Now, however, after making quite a few changes I discover it is not a web (doesn't have the web icon), but a folder. How can I convert it to a web? I'm afraid if I try to publish it to my website I will have problems. (It will be published to a subweb.) In the Help file of FP 2002, there is "convert web to folder" but not the reverse.

Try going to File - Open Web & open up that folder. If you have not disabled this function FP will ask you if you want to make it a web.

The strange thing is when I go to "open web" in FP, the file shows the icon as being a web. When I look at it in Windows Explorer, there is no web icon; it shows the file as a folder. ?????

Have you tried to reboot? It might just be a simple problem. if you have the other folders in there under explorer - i.e. _vti_cnf, _vti_pvt, it is a web

It still shows the file without the icon after rebooting. But concerning the _vti_bin files and _vti_pvt and _vti_cnf-- I thought at one time I could see those files from Front Page. Now I can't - only in Windows Explorer. Do YOU see those files in Front Page? Thanks

No - only via the Windows Explorer. You might see the _private & _borders if you have checked Show Hidden Folders.
