Using FP98. Since 1/1/00 every time I publish changes to my host's server an index.shtml file is created which gets all changes destined for my index.htm file then takes over as the index file for the site. However, the index.shtml does not contain my links so my site is not functional. I can delete the index.shtml file and make on-line changes to my index.htm file and all is well - until the next time I publish a change - this is making me crazy. My host's tech support has not come up with an answer yet. I have not made any changes in the setup of my FP98 or updated it since December when it worked perfectly. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me !!! Corie
