If you have VB, you can just 'preview' it for them in a simple VB browser.

Subject: Re: [AccessD] Urgent help please - Can't open html page
inFrontpagefrom Access form
Thanks Eric - I am finding this so confusing.
Yes - I have IIS running here - so my file must be in a folder from
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot? I need to allow the database users to share a common
file - can it find a web in a network location?
To go back to the basic requirements - what I am trying to do is allow users
to click on a button in the databse which will open a document which will be
published to the web. I want them to be able to create and edit that
document by following a link from an access form, because the letter that
the users 'create' will be linked to recipients from my database.
They could theoretically do it in Word or Notepad (or even within Access),
but I want them to see how it will preview on the web before they finalise
it, so formatting is done. I don't want to have to worry about whether they
are running IIS or create web folders or whatever - just open and edit a
simple html file in Frontpage so they can see how it would publish. Am I
going about this the wrong way?
TIA!
Kath

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
