Linda is right about the possible ways to do this.
If *I* had to do something like this...I would use an Access DB with ASP
pages and VBScript. But then, you'd have to learn how to do it that way
and maybe FrontPage as a better, more automated way to do it.
I would set up the master page with VBScript links to the areas in the
page (date) that could be updated. Then the DB would have all the data.
A script could then be written to look at the DB each month and pull the
new data into a new form. This would be mean you'd have little to do to
update it in the future. But it would take some time and effort for you
to learn this stuff and set it all up.
Sorry I can't be of more help...but Linda's suggestion with Word pages
and links would do it. Word has an calendar wizard. The result is a
table and you can easily copy/paste data from table cells to create a
year's worth? Then convert to HTML and post. Word isn't the best
solution for HTML, but in a pinch it does the trick.
Good luck!

Subject: [mso] Publishing a poster with FrontPage

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
