Re: Unable to start frontpage from a file

Steve, thanks for sticking at this.

Under 'File Types', HTM has nothing assosciated with it, when I highlight it
the 'Advanced' button does not appear, and so I cannot change anything.

Highlighting HTML allows the 'Advanced' button to be made available.
Under 'Application used to perform operation', msohtmed.exe was listed, this
I changed to Frontpage.exe, however it has made no difference, even with a
reboot.

Even more frustrated!

BTW, FrontPage 2003 works fine through a shortcut to the program.
It's just a pity I cannot use my shortcuts to open FP at specific pages.
