I am using FrontPage 2003 with my high school students and we have ran into a
problem. It will not let us show the folder list on the left of the
FrontPage screen. We have gone to view to choose the folder list but it is
in grey. I have checked with Microsoft for this problem and it talks about
metadata files. The files we are using are the same that I have downloaded
onto my computer and two laptops. These work fine. We have also uninstalled
FrontPage 2003 and re-installed it. This didn't help. Can anyone suggest
any solutions? Thank you.

Are you first opening a FP Web / Site (not just a page)

We are opening a file titled index.htm in a folder titled Garden Co. If this
was working right, when we open the page the folder and its contents should
appear in the Open Folder list.

Please answer Stefan's question: Are you opening the web site first?

You need to use File Menu | Open Web / Site first, then you would open a page.

If GardenCo is a web folder it will have a blue globe on it...if not you do
not have a web site...just a folder with "loose" pages in it.
