The operative word is: "....resides IN a FrontPage-based Web. ..." by
reading the entire thread here it is possible that the OP never had
created
a web site in FP to begin with and was instead working with "loose" pages.

|I have the book called "FrontPage Inside Out" by Jim Buyens and in this
book
| it states"
| "Opening a Web is such a common task that FrontPage provides many ways
to
| do it. Here are some additional ways to open a Web:
| Open a Web page that resides in a FrontPage-based Web. FrontPage opens
both
| the specified file and the Web that contains it."
|
| If the above is true, then you are both correct. OutlookGuy is just
opening
| a page (but it opens the web as well)
| and Tom is correct in that OutlookGuy needs to open the web.
|
| Just what I read....... take it for what it is worth. Just quoting from
the
| book I have.
