How to: Outlook framed by FrontPage (embedded in FrontPage)

[Forrest]

This should be easy... but I'm still a novice and don't know how to do this.

I want to wrap my home page around Outlook 2003. I am building the page such
that all Nav and links are at the top and in the left frames. The centerpiece
(bulk of the page) would be Outlook 2003. So, when a user from our group
opens the website (assuming Outlook2K3 is not running), he sees his Outlook
running framed by my links.

This event is only necessary for the main page. Navigating away, I don't
need it. I'm hoping users will keep the homepage open at all times just as
they now keep Outlook open constantly. They'd use my links when needed.

When clicking a link, I'll need to set all so they open a new page, not
replace the main. (To avoid opening, closing, and re-opening Outlook).

Suggestions? Resources? Templates?

In the frameset, set Outlook to be the initial page in the frame you want it loaded in. Issue
related to using Outlook on the web should be posted to the Outlook newsgroup as this is really not
a FP issue.

Will try and will check outlook group as well. Thanks. Later will send you
results (hopefully positive)

I added an in-line frame. When it asked for the initial page, I pointed to
MSOUTLOOK.exe. Opening the website, does not open Outlook in the frame... it
starts up Outlook normally and outside of the web page.

I checked Oulook discussion group; no comments on web related stuff except
some old problems with Outlook asking for FrontPage info. I will post there,
but I suspect they'll send me back to you. The call from FrontPage needs
something special?

This is not a FP issue. FP just create HTML pages, it has no control over how links are handled by a
browser.
