[AccessD] Urgent help please - Can't open html page in Frontpagefrom Access form

Kath,

FP webs expect to open these web folders in reference to the web root folder in IIS.

For example:

You have IIS (web server) running on the machine and you have a web called MYWEB. IIS sees this as http://localhost/MYWEB. The physical location (assuming the web root is C:\INETPUB\WWWROOT) is C:\INETPUB\WWWROOT\MYWEB\. So...if MYWEB is in a different folder...say C:\INETPUB\WWWROOT\ANOTHERFOLDER\MYWEB\  FP won't be able to recognize that as a web location.

Subject: [AccessD] Urgent help please - Can't open html page in
Frontpagefrom Access form


I have wasted ages on this so am now begging assistance........

I have an html file (empty at present - later it will have some basic text)

I need to my code to 
- Make a copy of the template.html file (I can do that) and 
- give it a new name, eg. Template_BHP_140904.html (I can do that)
- Open the html file just created in Frontpage for users to modify the document (That's where I'm stuck....)

My problem is a total lack of knowledge of files vs. webs and therefore the syntax I need. Questions: - 

- Do I have to have a 'web' or 'web folder' - can't I just have an html file and open it?

- If I can, what is the alternative syntax to .webs.open - eg. I am looking for a .pages.open property or .files.open ?

Here's my code so far - when I run it I get an error  - There is no web named "/E:/SDS/Clients/CPP/WebLetters/Template.html"


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Private Sub CmdOpenFP_Click()

Dim oFPweb As FrontPage.Web
Dim oFP As FrontPage.Application
Dim FrontPageRunning As Boolean

'Determine whether FrontPage is alredy open or not
FrontPageRunning = IsFrontPageRunning()

If Not FrontPageRunning Then
    MsgBox ("Frontpage is Closed")
    Set oFP = CreateObject("Frontpage.Application")
Else
    MsgBox ("Frontpage is already open")
    Set oFP = GetObject(, "Frontpage.Application")
End If

'add code here later to make a copy of my file

'open file in front page------------------------------------------------
oFP.Webs.Open ("E:\Sds\Clients\CPP\Webletters\template.html")        'STUCK HERE

 ' Show FrontPage
 oFPweb.Activate
 'Set oFP = Nothing

End Sub

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TIA
