Hi I'm new to FP,

If we wan to locate a file in XP, Start > search > ....
will do the searching...

Can you show me how easy is to code in FP for seaching file ...
(like FileSearch) in a path with it's subdir... such that user can click
that file
to view it (PDF file)

Is the FileSearch object (like in VBA EXCEL) from the XP office also
available to FP
???

thank so much.... and have a nice day!
 
Frontpage is for developing webpages, I'm not sure what you're wanting to
do. Do you want to be able to do a search in a web page? You can use the
search component in Frontpage.....but it won't search your 'desktop' - it is
for searching files on websites & web pages.

Does your question have *anything* to do with web development?

In any case, to insert the search component on a page goto Insert (menu) >
Component (submenu) > web search (option) and choose "Current Web".


However if this is not what you were asking about, I think you need
something more like Visual Basic to write a program for the Windows
operating system to do a search.

"FileSearch Object" - don't know what that is....FP doesn't have it. FP is
not a "full blown" programming application. It generates HTML code for web
pages with some support for javascript and vbscript (web technologies, not
to be confused with Java or Visual Basic programming languages), although I
suppose they are derived from those. VBscript is commonly used for ASP &
ASPX pages on the web.
