I've been using FrontPage for oh, about 7 years now and the quickest way to
open a website or particular web page has always been to surf to it in IE and
then click the Edit w/ FrontPage button. It opens FrontPage, pulls up the
website prompting you for the user and pass for that site and then the page
you want to edit.
After upgrading to Office 2003 (already had FP 2003) the Edit w/ FP button
no longer does that and instead pulls up a local copy of the page which
serves no purpose. Now in order to open a website and make a quick change, I
have to manually open FrontPage, click File > Open Site > Choose or type in
the url > Click Open > Put in the user and pass > then choose the page I need
to edit.
This is extremely annoying considering how easy it's been for the past 7
years to just open a web page with one click of the Edit w/ FP button in IE.
I don't know why the Office 2003 upgrade disabled that function but I tried
uninstalling and reinstalling FP 2003 but it still won't open the website
when I click the Edit w/ FP button, just a local copy.
Does anyone know how to restore this function to the Edit w/ FP button in IE?
I can't go on opening websites like this...having to take 7 steps to do what
I used to be able to do in one step.
I just want the solution, not your opinion on the "proper" way to open sites
in FP.
