Hi Paul....there are a couple ways you could do this, but it depends on your
intranet's setup
One way would be to use the calendar in Outlook, IF you use Outlook with
Exchange Server...your system admin could just set up a shared global
calendar that everyone could see
Or....If you really want to use FrontPage to do this, you can use Access
(instead of Excel or Word) and have FrontPage and the Access Database set up
to talk to one another, which is do-able, but I have no experience with
this, so I can't tell you the details of it, but if you search FrontPage's
help files for "database", it will explain it to you somewhat
OR....the easiest way would be to just save the Word or Excel file on a
network drive that all users have access to and just put a hyperlink to this
document on the FrontPage page so users could click on it to get the most
uptodate version of the file....this way the only thing you would have to
update would be the Word or Excel file, and wouldn't have to do anything in
FrontPage cuz the hyperlink would always point to that file.
Not sure if any of this is what you want...but it's some ideas.

Subject: [mso] Publishing a poster with FrontPage

Here is a message for you from http://web2mail.com

Dian et al.,
First, let me say that I'm an intermediate mso user who just keeps learning
and learning and learning but always has 98% to learn.
I am always looking for ways to automate my work. Each month I post at our
hospital a poster (Word 2000 doc) containing small tables, listing dates and
locations for worship services. Because most of the text does not change
from month to month I've considered designing a comparable Excel worksheet.
I'm just now getting around to that.
However, I also maintain an intranet website (using FrontPage 2000) in which
one of the pages into which I have imported (or cut and paste) the Word
document. I would like to automate that process as well! It would be
wonderful if I could do the job once and have it:
a) easily printed for my posters, and
b) have a quick and easy way from within FrontPage to update/import the new
month's calendar.
Our CIM acknowledges he has not had the need so has not learned to do this
sort of stuff (he's more concerned with maintaining servers, Oracle dbs, and
the hospital's use of other types of programs such as Novell Corel
GroupWise, Corel WordPerfect, Seagate Crystal Reports, Citrix, etc.). He did
suggest that I could always publish my posters as pdf files or use GroupWise
AtiveX calendar controls but I told him I didn't want to complicate my
work!!!
Thanks.
Paul
