    Hi,

    I'm new to FrontPage, so forgive me if this is a silly question. I would
    appear that it should be completely "obvious," but I've search help &
    google to no avail (perhaps not knowing what to call this coonfiguration
    option)?

    I use FrontPage to work on a local development server (Apache, PHP,
    MySQL), publishing to a public (hosted) server periodically.

    Not unusual, I assume <smile>.

    FrontPage opens the local "web" through a full file path (i.e. c:
    \documents and settings\blah\blah\blah)

    The problem is that when I launch a broswer to view the page I'm working
    on, using FrontPage's "Preview in browser" function, it passes the
    browser the direct path to the file, which is obviously pretty useless
    for php stuff.

    What I need to do is have FrontPage substitute, or alias the entire path
    to the local web with "localhost," allowing me to view the page through
    the local server when the "preview in browser" button is pushed.

    I'm sure this configuration option has to exist, but for the life of me,
    I can't find it, or even figure-out what it might be called.

    Thanks in advance!
