Recreate .VNU ?

Am a new webmaster at a company. They had a VSD site already up but the manager rebuilt the website to make it look like the original and I am not sure how it was done. Maybe the .vnu left with the previous webmaster? The previous .vnu is gone but I have all the pages and img's, they were all on the server. Everything except the .vnu! It is not stored on the server, only new ones created since.

Is there anyway that I can recreate it using the old files? Please, Please say YES!

If not, is there some way that I can copy the old page files into a new website so that I don't have to recreate EVERYTHING? Have tried to do it but not having a lot of luck.

TIA,

Mike

Have you tried an old backup? most hosting companies can go back into earlier dates this way you can get the file...

Unfortunately if that VNU file is gone, your only option is to start over if you want to continue using Visual Site Designer. However, since you have the Web files you can start using our HTML Editor instead.

this is really weird, I answered this post days ago, where did my post go? I saw it here too so it definitely posted, or did this guy post this in more than one forum maybe? If so it's already been answered most likely on Wed. lol *gets really worried about her state of mind* :P

I've definitely seen the same post before and several people answered it...so either we are both seeing things or strange things are happening....
I know you believe you understand what you think I said...but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not exactly what I meant.

Mike, have you checked the 'backup' folder at the website? If the old site was built with a fairly recent version of VSD, the vnu file should be in that folder. You may want to navigate to the website using an independent ftp client (CoffeeCup has one that is free) and check. Maybe you are lucky.
