I've got about 1700 pages in my site but none of them shows up in Edit Results after spidering. The only thing listed is the main website address.
I also use FrontPage and had to manually upload the sitemaps. Glad that issue was in your forum.

Does your site use frames or javascript for navigation?
If Yes all sitemap generators and most search engines will have a problem navigating your site.
If No, please send me a private message with your URL and I'll check it out.

I see your website uses frames...a big no no in web development.
You should seriously look into changing this. It's only hurting your search rankings.
The application is certainly having issues spidering the website and most search engines will have problems too.
If you'd like further clarification, let me know.
Thanks,
Brian

If you're curious about what Google thinks of Frames, read here: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=34445&topic=8522This page also has a link to another site with a very detailed description on frames and its implications with search engines.

OK, I got rid of (I think) all of the frames on my site and now Sitemap Generator is able to spider my site. Cool! Thanks.

Wow...that was fast! Framed websites can be a real pain to "unframe".
You will start seeing huge benefits very soon.
Locking topic as issue has been resolved.
