Problem in FrontPage 2002 (& 2000).
First, the statistics — The OS is Windows NT Server 4.0 with sp6a. The machine is a Pionex Server with 256 Megs of Memory, Dual Pentium processors and a 4 disk SCSI Raid 5 array. We are on a Wide Band T1 connection. Application software for web site editing, is Frontpage 2000 & 2002.
I use Frontpage to build and edit my Web Sites. Most of my web sites also use shared borders. Recently, I noticed that when I attempt to “Publish” a Web Site to the machine after editing a page or two, that about half way through the upload, it halts the session with a warning box with the error —
SERVER ERROR, CANNOT OPEM FILE “.Thumbs.db.tmp” FOR WRITING. —
Please note the preceding DOT and the double extension.!!
I,ve attempted to delete it, but it always returns the next time FrontPage is accessed. It is a hidden file normally, but with “view hidden and system files” activated, it can be located. It appears to reside in either the pages folder OR in the bottom border..??
Normally, I will save the page after each editing session, then try to PUBLISH it to the hosting machine. At first, it appeared that it did no damage. However, I later noticed that any page that relied on FRONTPAGE EXTENSIONS in order to function properly, (such as a forms page) would either not work at all or it would malfunction in some other way. I assume that it is because the upload will feeze and stop with the above mentioned error when it intercepts that file.
Now also, when I start to build a new site, it misteriously appears again when the borders are created. This gives me cause to think it may be hidding in one of FrontPages file..?? Yet, I have removed & re-installed frontpage with NO success.
Anyone with a suggestion, or a solution…?????
Cheers
