How To: Outlook framed inside Frontpage Webpage

G

Guest

This should be easy... but I'm still a frontpage novice and don't know how to
do this.

I want to wrap my home page around Outlook 2003. I am building the page such
that all Nav and links are at the top and in the left frames. The centerpiece
(bulk of the page) would be Outlook 2003. So, when a user from our group
opens the website (assuming Outlook2K3 is not running), he sees his Outlook
running framed by my links.

This event is only necessary for the main page. Navigating away, I don't
need it. I'm hoping users will keep the homepage open at all times just as
they now keep Outlook open constantly. They'd use my links when needed.

When clicking a link, I'll need to set all so they open a new page, not
replace the main. (To avoid opening, closing, and re-opening Outlook).

I have tried putting a frame in the page, then setting the initial page to
the Outlook.exe executable. When opening he page, it downloads my Outlook.exe
& asks me to run it (yes), but just fires up Outlook outside of the web page.
Suggestions? Resources? Templates?

Ask in a Front Page group - microsoft.public.frontpage would be a good place
to start.
