SYMPTOMS
When you delete a page from a Microsoft FrontPage web on your local computer, and then you publish the web to an Internet or intranet server (to which the previous version of the web in question has already been published), the page that you deleted in your local version before publishing is not deleted from the server as expected during the update publishing process.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you select Publish all pages, overwriting any already on the destination in the Publish Web dialog box. This action succeeds in updating changes made to existing pages, but FrontPage does not automatically delete pages from the server that you deleted from your local web.



RESOLUTION
In the Publish Web dialog box, select the Publish changed pages only option. FrontPage then displays a message similar to the following to prompt to you delete the pages and files that are present on the server but not in your current web:

The file ' .htm' exists on the destination server but does not exist in the current Web. Would you like FrontPage to remove it from '// '?

Click Yes to delete the specified file or Yes to All to delete all of the files that you deleted from the current Web.



MORE INFORMATION
For more information about publishing webs, click Microsoft FrontPage Help on the Help menu, type publish a web in the Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click Search to view the topic.
