Web Designer 6 - Serious Error

[Murray]

Hi Everyone.

I am running WD6 at present and have just completed my first large site and am attempting to export it to a folder so that it can be uploaded later on. I upload via Filezilla as I find it easier and like to see whats going on.

My issue is that each time i try and export, I get a "Serious Error" has occured message and I can proceed no further, followed by the usual reporting blurb and then a software shut down.

I have tried the usual removal and re-installation but that does not work. I am convinced it is something to do with my site creation as I have succesfully exported a full standard website from the Xara design gallery just moments afer not being able to export my own.

I am running Windows Vista if that is of any relevance.

Any help from anyone who may be up at this hour would be most welcomed!!

Thanks.

Welcome to TG Murray,

It would be helpful if you could attach a screen shot of the error message and your .web file for inspection thanks

Hi

The files are a little large to upload to the blog and my connection is quite slow tonight so I have zipped them up and am uploading them to my domain http://www.tecnoland.eu.com/xara.zip

The site itself is about 30mb so I will fully understand if you do not want to download it, but I would appreciate any help.

Thanks a lot.

The error is on page 1 (index)

Follow these steps:

[1] Ungroup the 'A Proven Track Record' (rectangle/text/calendar group)
[2] Cut the text column to the clipboard (the text appears E/W squashed)
[3] Paste the text into Notepad then copy it back to the clipboard
[4] Draw a text *area* (draw with the 'T'ext tool) inside the rectangle with the calendar
[5] Paste the text and format to Times New Roman and set 'A Proven Track Record' to center justification 18px and Bold.
[6] Move text area backwards until the repelling calendar is on top and repels the text again,
[7] Adjust position if necessary
[8] Save and export.

I have uploaded the exported site here as a demo, let me know once you have tested it and I will remove it from my server:
► TECNOLAND demo

Also note you have a number of unused layers* in page one and a misplaced 'mouseover' object for the telephone icon.

I did see a number of your images are still linked to www.xara.com as well.
I understand you still have yet to finish
