Problem with include files in Expression Web?
I have a web site that was built in Front Page. I moved it to Expression Web and everything worked great until I tried to change the navigation menu in an include file. In Front Page changing the include file changes every page that includes it.
Now in Expression Web that no longer happens. I have to manually open every page that includes the menu, change it, save it, chenge it back and they the include file sill update.
What's up with this?

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

How did you 'move' it? Did you open it in Expression Web or did you import it? What? Does it have the meta data ticked? Site - Site Settings - General Tab - Manage the website using hidden metadata files... you need that to be ticked.

This is your website? - If so open up Expression Web make sure no webs are open... then press File - Open Site and browse to the your old fp web on your hard drive and select it and open it. Everything will work correctly. If the site is not on your hard drive (not your imported one) but on the server, then you will need to publish the site from the server to your hard drive and open it in expression web ... let me know if that is so... and you need more instructions. Because you imported you are probably missing some of the hidden files.

I created a blank web site and imported iut using the import wizard.
