Copy a database file from remote to local site

My website is stored on a server that is running Front Page extensions. I
want to copy only the database files (2) from the remote site to my local
site. I do not want to copy any of the html files. Can I do this?

If you publish the site back to your local, then only most recent content will be published when you
use the Change Pages Only option of publishing.

Re: Copy a database file from remote to local site

With any version of FrontPage:
Open the remote (server) site and use File->Export to export the
database to your desktop, then import into the local website overwriting
the old version.
In FrontPage 2003, right click the database and use "Publish selected
files" to publish directly to your local site.

Or, as mentioned by Idaspode, (especially if the database is large) use
FTP to download the database. Do NOT move any folders named _vti* or
any files in those folders - this will corrupt the FrontPage extensions.

If you Export or FTP directly to your local site, then open the local
site in FrontPage and run Tools->Recalculate Hyperlinks to update the
meta data.

Thank you one and all. I used Select file and Publish directly to local
website and it did just fine.

Re: Copy a database file from remote to local site

I lost all my computer files on Front Page in a computer crash. I started
trying to copy the files from the remote site to my Front Page yesterday, but
I am on direct dial and it said that it would take 24 hours to download - and
my server is constantly interrupted the first 4 hours only took in 1 hour of
the 24 hours. Is there any other way I can get my remote website into my
Front Page software? I realize I am somewhat computer illierate (self
taught) and can't even figure out to start a new question in this website
(keep getting a notice that it is being blocked as unsafe). Please help. I
really do need to edit my website and this has been going on for over a month
now - with one problem and another.
