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

  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.

    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
