FP2000: Deleted Pages from Web Show up in Search Results List

• Microsoft FrontPage 2000

SYMPTOMS

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

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because FrontPage maintains pointers to your Web content, even though you deleted a page. 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.



2. On the Tools menu, click Recalculate Hyperlinks.



3. Run 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

1. 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 
      -----------------------------------------------------------------
   
      Microsoft Personal Web Server           \Webshare\wwwroot
      Microsoft Internet Information Server   \InetPub\wwwroot 




2. Open the folder that contained the deleted page.



3. Open the \_vti_pvt folder and delete the following two files:

   
         Deptodoc.btr
         Doctodep.btr 




4. 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 




5. Switch to FrontPage.



6. On the Tools menu, click Recalculate Hyperlinks.
