SYMPTOMS
If you have a virtual server enabled with FrontPage Built in Source Control or Visual Source Safe and you convert a folder in the Web to a subweb, the folder is not automatically set to be under Source Control.

If the new Web is not placed under Source Control, data may be lost. If users make changes to documents in the new Web and the Web is ever placed back under Source Control, those changes will be lost.



CAUSE
FrontPage does not automatically turn on Source Control for new Webs created from existing folders in the Source Controlled Web.



RESOLUTION
To set Source Control for the new Web, use the FrontPage Microsoft Management Console snap-in on the Web server and select Properties for the folder. If you are using Internet Information Server (IIS) version 4.0 or 5.0, you can do this by performing the following steps:
 * 1) Opening the Internet Services Manager.
 * 2) Select the properties for the folder that was converted to a Web.
 * 3) Click the Server Extensions tab and select the method of Version Control.

On all other Web servers, use the Server Extensions Administrator and perform the following steps:
 * 1) Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and select Server Extensions Administrator.
 * 2) Select the properties for the folder that was converted to a Web, and then select the method of Version Control.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions.
