 Last reviewed: June 6, 1997
Article ID: Q168316
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Access 97

SYMPTOMS

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

When you try to open a Start page by clicking the Start Page button on the Web toolbar in Microsoft Access 97, you may receive the following error message: 

   Unable to open http://. Cannot connect to the Internet server.

CAUSE

You have not set a Start page using the Set Start Page option on the Go menu of the Web toolbar.

RESOLUTION

Create a Start page for your Web browser. Then you will be able to start your Web browser with this page when you click the Start page button on the Web toolbar.

MORE INFORMATION

When you start a Web browser, the Start page is the first page that appears in the browser. You can set this location to any Web site you want, or to a database object in Microsoft Access.

To create a Start Page, follow these steps:

  1. In Microsoft Access 97, open the database, or the table, query, form, or report in the database that you want to use as the Start page.

  2. On the Web toolbar, click Go, and then click Set Start Page.

  3. When you are prompted with the message about setting your Start page, click Yes.

    NOTE: When you change the Start page by using the Web toolbar in an Office program, the new Start page used in your Office program is also used in your Web browser as long as the browser is compatible with Office.
