Scheduled Includes and Images Do Not Appear at Scheduled Time

When a scheduled include (page or image) is inserted into a page, it does not appear at the scheduled time.

This occurs because FrontPage Server Extensions do not run continually. Because FrontPage Server Extensions only run when they are called, a FrontPage author or administrator must be logged on to the Web when the change is to be made.

To work around this problem, use one of the following methods:

Method 1

After the scheduled time, open the Web in FrontPage Explorer and click Recalculate Hyperlinks on the Tools menu.

Method 2

1. After the scheduled time, open the Web in FrontPage Explorer.
2. In FrontPage Editor, open the page that contains the Scheduled Include Component and save it again.

Method 3

Schedule a batch file to run after the scheduled time by doing the following:

1. At the command prompt, type "edit" to open the MS-DOS editor to create a batch file. Press the ESC key to clear the dialog box.
2. At the flashing cursor, type the following:
   
   For FrontPage 98:

      "c:\program files\microsoft frontpage\version3.0\bin
      \fpsrvadm" -o recalc -p ip address:portnumber -w webname[ / for
      root web or sub web name]
   							

   For FrontPage 2000:

      "c:\program files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\40\bin
      \fpsrvadm" -o recalc -p ip address:portnumber -w webname[ / for
      root web or sub web name]
   							

NOTE: The above batch file uses the default location in which FrontPage is installed. The location on your computer may vary, based on the directories in which you installed FrontPage.
