SYMPTOMS

When you browse a page created in FrontPage, and attempt to use a custom image map or a browse-time WebBot component you receive an error message similar to the following:

file:<driveletter>/<Web|content|directory>/myWeb/_vti_bin/ shtml.exe/mypage.htm/ could not be found.

NOTE: Browse-time WebBot components include the following:

   WebBot Confirmation Field component   WebBot Discussion component    WebBot
Registration component   WebBot Save Results component   WebBot Search component

CAUSE

This problem occurs when you browse a FrontPage Web page using a file location rather than a HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP) Uniform Resource Locator (URL) if the FrontPage Web page contains browse-time FrontPage components. HTTP is required to access the server extensions to allow these components to run.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, use HTTP to look at the page. To do this, start the Web browser and type the URL of the page. For example, type:

http://example.microsoft.com/mypage.htm

MORE INFORMATION

To open a Web page using the location of the file, start the Web browser and type the location of the page on your hard disk. For example, type:

file:<drive letter>:/myweb/<Web content directory>/mypage.htm

When you use this method to view a page, some features of FrontPage Web pages may not function properly.
