Sample Macro to Remove Underlines from Hyperlinks

To run this macro, copy the code to the Visual Basic Editor in FrontPage and run the myProcedure macro.

Sub myProcedure()

   'Set up a variable to hold the result of a message box
   Dim myMsgBoxResults As VbMsgBoxResult
       
   'Check to see if a web is open.
   If ActiveWebWindow.Web Is Nothing Then

       'If no web is open, display a message box.
       MsgBox "Please open a web before running this macro.", _
         vbOKOnly + vbExclamation

       '. . . and end the macro.
       Exit Sub

   End If
       
   '////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 
   'In order for us to update the HTML in our files, there must be no
   'pages open.  To check for this, we check the Count property of
   'the PageWindows collection.  The PageWindows collection's Count
   'property is equal to the number of files that are currently open.
   '////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 

   'Get the count of the PageWindows collection
   If ActiveWeb.ActiveWebWindow.PageWindows.Count <> 0 Then

       'Assign the result of a message box to the variable
       myMsgBoxResults = _
         MsgBox("Please close all files before running this macro.", _
           vbOKOnly + vbExclamation)

       'If the user clicks OK in our message box, exit the macro.
       'This variable will equal vbOK as soon as the user clicks
       'the OK button in the message box.
