when you ftp into the site, are you making sure it’s going into the / directory or the /www directory??? There should be a setting in the preferences for dreamweaver that you designate what directory to goto when you establish ftp connections… I’m a little confused on what youre trying to do, I’ll see if I can load Dreamweaver later and take a look at it. ---

use a different ftp, dream weaver ftp will just complicate things. I use Filezilla. I would also recommend using notepad unless your using about 400 tables. ---
