Check w/ your host to make sure they support subwebs under FP and allow publ
ishing of subwebs w/o publishing the root web
- some hosts don't

A subweb is a free standing web in FP and all links to / from it are treated
 as external links
- a subweb can be published to its root or to an independent location
- subweb do not share any design time tools / parameters w/ the root web
(you would need to create say a nav view, nav bars, etc and apply a theme in
 each subweb)
- you can link to / from any web / subweb

Learn about subwebs before you convert anything
- create a sample web (from one of the templates) and create a subweb w/i it
- understand the impact on your root web

To create a subweb you right click the folder in Folder List and select Conv
ert to Web
- to convert it back to a folder you select the subweb and right click it in
 Folder List to select Convert to Folder

A subweb must start at the root level, but you can also nest subwebs
So you could make folder1, folder2,... folder100 all subwebs, and even progr
essively make  subfolder1, sub-subfolder1, and
sub-sub-subfolder1 subwebs under those subwebs, if you needed to

But just because you have folders doesn't mean they need to be or should be 
subwebs
- your decision on breaking apart the web into subwebs should be content gro
uping driven and based on creating manageable and
related chunks of your web
- you need to look at how many of your files are html vs. media files (image
s, etc) - View Reports
- if may be that just moving your large media to a folder and converting tha
t will serve you just as web

| Thank you very much for the immediate answer. You can call my site "huge" 
and
| yes I do have some files larger then 1MB. I'm always having problems
| uploading files using FrontPage. (server timeouts).
| The structure of my site is something like this:
|
| root
|  folder1
|   subfolder1
|    sub-subfolder1
|     sub-sub-subfolder1
|       file1.htm
|       file2.htm
|       file3.htm ... etc.
|  folder2 ... etc.
|
| Do you think that converting folder1, folder2,... folder100 etc. to subweb
s
| will fix the problem? I do have too many html pages but I don't know how t
o
| use DB 
| (Is there something the server's administrator should do about subwebs?)
| Thank you in advance for your help.
