In search of answers..

My index.htm page has been renamed to index.html, how this happened i don't know. I contacted my host and they said to rename my page to index.html but frontpage won't let me because one already exists!
My dilema is:
I now have two index pages and I can only make changes to index.htm, so half of my links go to one or the other..
I tried changing the name of index.html to something else and renaming index.htm to index.html but it stated that there are no files on the server for index.html?
I am afraid to delete... HELP

there is a small difference in the way servers see htm vs. html files. Simply put one has priority over the other in loading from the url. (or so it was described to me). My best suggestion is to check all links site wide to make sure they are pointing to index.htm... then upload changed pages, including index.htm. Then simply delete the index.html from your server... on load the site will go to index.htm. Then make sure to delete index.html from your local machine.

If all else fails you can make sure your local copy of the site is correct, then delete all pages from your server and repost.

Hope this helped

Even though I can't really help, I'd like to take this moment to say:

FrontPage is incompatibility at it's best.

New to this so excuse my ignorance.
Would you recommend Dreamweaver over Frontpage?
