Hi,
Is there a way to modify my template so that certain pages based on that template have an editable layer and other pages based on that same template do not? I am trying to get the structure of a site built on a template and I cant add any layers/Tables to my pages based on the template as they are locked. I added a couple editable regions but the regions seem to only take text and not layers? Thank you for your help on this.

AFAIK, you can put whatever you want in editable regions. Can you post a small snippet of what you're trying to accomplish?
Alternatively, you can drop the DW template feature and use (ASP) server side includes instead if that's an option.
Cheers,

Thanks Imar, I will get back to this again and see what i may have been doing wrong. I am thus far finding the hardest part of my website dev is trying to get my graphics properly inserted. I spliced out a banner that has multiple seperate graphic files on it and inserted into a 1 X 3 table. Problem is when it is viewed in resolution above what i have designed in the graphics become seperated. If I make table at one row and 100% and place banner in then when I preview in higher resolutions the graphic over laps. i am wondering if it is just best to design using a specific pixel size for my table.

It all depends.
What a tight layout like the one in TheCookingPlace, absolute sizes are preferred. That way, you don't get unwanted whitespace.
However, for other type of sites, dynamic layouts are often better.
Take for example this P2P site. When you resize the page, the contents scale (to some extend, as there is a minimum width. If you get below that width, you get a scroll bar).
So, all in all, it depends on your site and requirements. Usually dynamic layouts may be easier for the user as they can control how much of the screen real estate is used. Fixed layouts may seem easier to make, but if you practice a bit, dynamic designs can be just as easy.
HtH,
