Hello Pat, Thanks for the advice. I will make a more careful study of the tutorial and the guidance notes but I'm fairly sure I know what you are suggesting. My first build did not use frames -- I introduced them as the site grew in size. Some statistics will put the problem in context. The site comprises:-- 50 frames which hold navigation bars, linking 370 HTML pages which display a total of two thousand, one hundred JPEG photographs. The backup takes 277MB on my hard drive. There are 2,653 files in 165 folders. I'm hoping something can be done to avoid a total rebuild. As you will no doubt appreciate, using frames makes the navigation system is much more friendly to the user. In fact I have been revising my site to include more frames and even some frames within frames. To achieve the same result without frames means much duplication of navigation links with all the attendant editing problems when changes and additions are made. So you can see why I'm reluctant to abandon frames. My Churches and Graveyards photo tours of Dumfries and Galloway (SW Scotland) has attracted thousands of visitors over the eight years I have been developing it. All the photos are totally copyright free to family historians producing non-commercial family histories. The site was originally hosted by Rootsweb, before Ancestry came into the equation. If I have to abandon frames to remain with Rootsweb my easiest option might be to find a host server that is frames friendly. Anyway, thanks for the advice. Regards, Sandy
