FP2000: Cannot Open a Page in Page View with LocatePage Method

• Microsoft FrontPage 2000

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) LocatePage method to open a page in page view while the web is not open, the following error message appears:

Runtime error '-2147467259 (80004005)':

The specified file or Web does not exist.

CAUSE

You cannot open a web document that is in a FrontPage web without first opening the web.

RESOLUTION

To programmatically open a page in page view without manually opening the web, you must also programmatically open the web. The following Visual Basic for Applications macro sample opens a disk-based web called "DBWeb" (located on the C: drive) and then opens a page named "MyHTMLPage.htm."

Sub OpenPage()

Dim myWeb As Web 'Declares myWeb as a Web object
Dim myFile As WebFile 'Declares myFile as a file

Set myWeb = Webs.Open("C:\DBWeb") ' Opens the Web
' Defines myFile as the MyHTMLPage.htm located in the Root Folder of 
' the Active Web
Set myFile = ActiveWeb.RootFolder.Files("MyHTMLPage.htm") 
myFile.Open ' Opens the page

End Sub
