Hi,
Can anybody recommend a good site for learning how to use FP page includes for setting up navigation bars.
I have searched the net but find it difficult to get any site that explains the basics - people say it is easy?
Thanks.

I only do it through the HTML editor portion. Here's a basic example using a top, left, and bottom border table layout.

-------------------------------------------
<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0">

<table border="0" width="100%" id="table1" style="border-collapse: collapse"
cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="100%" colspan="2"><!--#include file="../top.aspx"--></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100" valign="top" bgcolor="#000000"><!--#include file="../left_main.aspx"--></td>
<td width="100%" valign="top">BODY OF PAGE</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><!--#include file="../bottom.aspx"--></td>
</tr>
</table>

</body>

Try this:

1) Create a new page with your navigation bar on it and nothing else. Save it under a filename that's easy to remember ("include_navbar.htm" or "navbar.htm" or whatever).

2) Create a shared border for your navigation bar.

3) Place your cursor in the shared border, go to the Insert menu, select "Web component," select "Included content," select "Page," and then browse to the include file that you created earlier. Click OK. That should do it.

Note: The above instructions are for FP2003; the procedure might be slightly different in FP2000 (which I haven't used in quite a while), but it should be easy enough to figure out now that you know the basic principle.
