MORE INFORMATION

To create a SubWeb

FrontPage 98:

In FrontPage Explorer, point to New on the File menu, and then click FrontPage Web. In the New FrontPage Web dialog box, click One Page Web. In "Choose a title for your FrontPage Web" box type a name for your subWeb. Click OK.

FrontPage 97 and 1.1:

In FrontPage Explorer, point to New on the File menu, and then click FrontPage Web. In the create Wizards Or Template dialog box, click Normal Web, and then click OK. In the New FrontPage Web dialog box, type the host location of the web. For example, type "localhost" or "c:\webs" (without the quotation marks). By entering a name in the "Name of Destination FrontPage Web" box, you are creating a subWeb with that name. Click OK.

FrontPage 1.0:

Using Windows File Manager or Windows Explorer, create a folder in the c:\Content folder. For example, if you created a Web called Main, you should have a folder called C:\Content\Main. If you then add a folder in Main, called SubWeb, you will have a folder called C:\Content\Main\SubWeb. After you create this folder, move or copy your files to this folder.
