Folders Converted to Webs Lose Source Control
This article was previously published under Q201695
If you have a virtual server enabled with FrontPage Built in Source
Control or Visual Source Safe and you convert a folder in the Web to a
subweb, the folder is not automatically set to be under Source
Control.
If the new Web is not placed under Source Control, data may be lost. If
users make changes to documents in the new Web and the Web is ever placed
back under Source Control, those changes will be lost.
FrontPage does not automatically turn on Source Control for new Webs
created from existing folders in the Source Controlled Web.
To set Source Control for the new Web, use the FrontPage Microsoft
Management Console snap-in on the Web server and select Properties for the
folder. If you are using Internet Information Server (IIS) version 4.0 or
5.0, you can do this by performing the following steps:
- Opening the Internet Services Manager.
- Select the properties for the folder that was converted to a
Web.
- Click the Server Extensions tab and select the method of Version
Control.
On all other Web servers, use the Server Extensions Administrator and
perform the following steps:
- Click Start, point to Programs, point to
Administrative Tools, and select Server Extensions Administrator.
- Select the properties for the folder that was converted to a Web,
and then select the method of Version Control.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions
Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
