This article was previously published under Q161898 SYMPTOMS
When you use the Microsoft Excel 97 Web Form Wizard to save a form for a
FrontPage Web, you may receive one of the following error messages:
You need to open a Web by using the FrontPage Explorer.
FrontPage cannot be found on your machine. Please make sure that it is
installed and working properly.
CAUSE
The first error message may appear if you do not open a Web in the
FrontPage Explorer before you save the form. If a Web is open, and you
select "Add the result to your FrontPage Web" in the "Web Form Wizard -
Step 4 of 6" dialog box, the wizard saves all the files it creates in the
open FrontPage Web.
The second error message may appear if FrontPage is not installed on the
computer. In order to use the "Add the result to your FrontPage Web" option
in the "Web Form Wizard - Step 4 of 6" dialog box, FrontPage must be
installed (and a FrontPage Web must be open in the FrontPage Explorer).
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, use the following appropriate method.
Method 1
To prevent the first error message from appearing, open a Web in the
FrontPage Explorer before you click "Add the result to your FrontPage Web"
in the "Web Form Wizard - Step 4 of 6" dialog box. After you open a Web,
the Web Form Wizard saves the files it creates to the open Web.
Method 2
To prevent the second error message from appearing, install Microsoft
FrontPage on the computer on which you are running the Microsoft Excel Web
Form Wizard.
