I have been working on a fairly simple website for a few months now using Website Creator X6. Everything was working well every time I tested the site internally. Now all of a sudden, the program is telling me the NOD file is damaged and that it cannot be recovered. I then get a message directing me to read "recover.txt" in the Website Creator directory for "alternative" ways of recovering the data.
The problem is, "recover.txt" doesn't exist.
I have tried importing the internally published pages to recreate the site, but Creator tells me the pages are "too large."
It also appears that Creator stopped creating backups of the NOD file.
How am I to recover this data so I can publish the site online? How could the NOD file have become corrupted in the first place? (I frequently got messages that the file was corrupted when I loaded it, but Website Creator always recovered it.)
I am not happy with the stability of this program.

That doesn't answer my question, now does it?

It sort of does.
I think you are going to find out most folks that are knowledgeable in web development won't be able to help because the program is a very poor choice for building web sites. Web developers will not touch that program nor recommend it. I know a few that looked at it and walked away.
The time you are spending "learning it" and trying to make it work your way would be much better spent learning how to make a web site in an html editor. There are many, some for free some very expensive. Developing a web site should be a creative and fun experience, won't be with this program.
My business is web development/marketing and I have been doing it for years, I own and operate live web servers and have hundreds of accounts. I looked at this program, played with it for a while then deleted it. I am not surprised you are having issues, this program has a very convoluted way of generating pages from it's own inner working templates that only that program understands. You cannot edit any site made in that program unless you use that program.
I don't mean to blow you off I try to help when I can. The best advise is write it off as a learning experience and get a real html editing program. Foster's advise is good advise as is Ariel's.
Might not be what you want to hear but it is real.
This product is NetObjects Fusion 12.5 with Corel name on it, it would be best to ask this question on their website.

Hello ryan; I asked almost the same question a year or so ago when I got Corel Website Creator with X6. I played with it for a while and didn't like the way it did things. So I asked here and when people like Bob told me I was wasting my time I looked around for something else, that someone that didn't know much about building web sites, I found a few programs out there and I bought a cheaper end one called Web Easy. I do all the graphics in Corel and exported them and then dragged and dropped or imported into the Web Easy program ( it's easy to build a site that way and a lot of fun.) Just draw a layout of what you want as far as pages and start building.
