Outlook 2003 Calendars in FrontPage 2003

I've placed an Outlook 2003 Calendar in one of the frames of my website. When
I click my calendar tab the first page appears in the bottom frame just as it
should. When I hit the forward arrow to go to the next month I get a server
unavailable message in the top frame of my page.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Are there ways I can alter the code?

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
 
I've seen this problem before and created my own test version that does the
same thing.
To the best of my knowledge, this is an inherent problem by using your
outlook calendar. When you export it to your Frontpage, the arrow buttons
are automatically created (so you have no control over this).

I find the problem interesting because I ran across it before.
I hope somebody else can help, but my recollection (a year ago) was that the
two won't work together. Personally, I got away from using the Frames...
but I know that's not what you want to hear.

The issue has to do with setting the "target frame" on the arrow button...
which has defaulted to your top page.

I will look further into it, but I'm sure somebody with more experience can
chime in.
 
Additional information (that I remembered)
When you click the Next Arrow, it implements a JavaScript "NextMonth()".
This JavaScript was installed when you exported from Outlook. You are very
limited as to what you can do since you have no control over this Script.

Your not going to like this option, but you export separate Months at a time
and create your own Arrow Button that works with Frames. This means you
would add Months and remove old months manually. Big headache.

You may be better off with a different calendar program. There are some
free ones available.
 
Thanks for all the information. It has been helpful. I ended up opening the
calendar as a seperate page and that works for now.
 
Excellent choice to open it as a new window.
Still would be nice to have solution to open it in the selected "Frame".
