Questions about multiple pages in VRD...
I'm just learning to use VRD and like it, but there are some small problems as well. For instance, I created a second page, and after realizing I named the secon page incorrectly, I erased it. When I started working on the original again and saved it, with no second page, it recreated the second page again. I searched and couldn't find where it was pulling that information from. Need help with that.
Next, when making multiple pages (I'm building a 12 page site), I have used MS Front Page and always built each page on its own. With VSD, it seems to link pages together when you "add a new page". Does everyone just go with that or would you start with a fresh new page for each page you're creating and just link them up by the different names?
I know it's technically doing the same thing, I just didn't like that if you make a mistake, or wanted to change the name of the linked pages in the future (example: calendar.html to cma_calendar.html), you wouldn't be able to make page name changes in VSD.
Thanks!

It may be pulling it from the temp directory. In Vista, in my user folder, it's in
AppData/Local/Temp/vsd_tmpdir
I don't know where it might be with XP. Hopefully, someone more familiar with VSD will be able to answer your other questions.
I'm really unsure why the duplicate pages are showing up. That may be a question for the support team unless someone has another idea.
You can change the name of the page in VSD. After you create the page, go to the 'page' option at the top of the menu, the dialogue box for page settings will appear, go to the the page ID, and you can add underscores or whatever(I just tested it with an underscore).
Happy New Year and hope you have great success with your site.

Okay, thanks for that information, but not I have something new, with multiple pages.
When creating additional pages, and you click on the Add Page button on VSD, should you SAVE or SAVE AS? When you SAVE AS, it creates a new xxxx_v6 page, a new folder, and all of the new pages in that folder. Is this okay?
