FrontPage crashes when adding hyperlink

[David Rowell]

I'm using FP 2003 on a Vista machine and believe both the OS and FP have all
latest updates.

Often (but not always) when I go to insert a hyperlink from my own website
on another FrontPage page in the site, the program will crash.

I highlight some text, click on the Insert Hyperlink button, and then click
on one of the folders in my website as I navigate to the page I wish to
create the hyperlink to, and the program freezes/crashes.

The website is being held on a remote server, not on this local workstation.

Does anyone have any ideas? Not being able to link from page to page in my
site is, of course, a bit of a challenge and limitation.

Tks

David.

It is a known bug that is being worked on. The workaround is to add
links in Code View.

For most users, the crash occurs *every* time.

Unfortunately a known Bug w/ Vista
- MS still does not have a fix for it

For those of you that were hopeful that "fixit" had a real solution, don't
bother. This fix doesn't work.
