Thanks, but I have never been able to use FrontPage in that way i.e. "Open
Web" -- probably because i sometimes edit pages in html via FTP(whenever it's
faster) and I orignally created many of my pages in html.
Besides, i f i shouldn't be opening Front Page via the icon then why have
the icon?It has worked for me in the past (since 2000) but not lately. I do
not use the Front Page templates or navigation aids because my sites are
hundreds of pages in size, some from the mid-90s, created via a mix of html
and FrontPage.
