For a Microsoft FrontPage 98 version of this article, see 194263.



SYMPTOMS
When you perform a search, your results list contains one or more pages that you deleted using FrontPage Explorer. If you attempt to load a deleted page, you receive a message indicating that the page cannot be found.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because FrontPage maintains pointers to your Web content--even the content you deleted. These pointers remain intact until you recalculate links.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, use either of the following methods.

NOTE: You should try Method 1 first. If Method 1 does not resolve this behavior, use Method 2.

Method 1: Recalculate Links

 * 1) Open your Web in FrontPage Explorer.
 * 2) On the Tools menu, click Recalculate Hyperlinks.
 * 3) Rerun your search in a Web browser.

NOTE: You may need to refresh or reload the page in the Web browser.

Method 2: Reset the Dependency Databases
To reset the dependency databases used by the FrontPage Search component, follow these steps:

  In Windows Explorer, open the folder that contains your Web content. To determine where you content is stored, use the following table as a guide      Web Server               Folder -

FrontPage Personal Web Server     \FrontPage Webs\Content Microsoft Personal Web Server     \Webshare\wwwroot Microsoft Internet Information Server \InetPub\wwwroot  Open the folder that contained the deleted page.  Open the \_vti_pvt folder and delete the following two files:      Deptodoc.btr Doctodep.btr   Open the \_vti_txt\default.wti folder. Delete the following files:      All.cat All.dct All.doc All.fmt All.fn     All.hl      All.idx All.inv All.src </li> Switch to FrontPage Explorer.</li> On the Tools menu, click Recalculate Hyperlinks.</li></ol>
