FP97: Graphics File Overwritten in FrontPage Editor (159434)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft FrontPage 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q159434 SYMPTOMS
In FrontPage Editor when you are prompted to save a graphics file, if
you click "Yes To All," images that were inserted in earlier editing
sessions may be replaced (overwritten).
CAUSE
In FrontPage Editor, when you paste a graphics file from the
clipboard, FrontPage automatically suggests a name for the file. This
name consists of a shortened version of the page name with a number
appended to it. If you use this suggested name, you may overwrite a
file in your document that has that same name. (These suggested names
are numbered sequentially for each session of FrontPage; however, the
numbering sequence is reset each time you exit and restart FrontPage
Editor.)
WORKAROUND
To avoid this problem, use either of the following methods:
Method 1: Avoid using the suggested file name
When you save a pasted image to your web, create a unique file name
for the image (avoid using the suggested name).
Method 2: Avoid clicking "Yes to All"
Do not click "Yes To All" when FrontPage prompts you to save images to
a FrontPage web.
