Microsoft FrontPage doesn't provide the ability to create multiple projects, so sharing a project may be a little confusing at first glance. You can share your Microsoft FrontPage projects using one of the following three methods:

  • As a ComAddIn.

  • By exporting the .bas, cls, and .frm modules to a directory on your hard drive (or a server location). Then the user can import the modules to their project in FrontPage.

  • Use the Microsoft Office Developer Edition to open the project.

Sharing as a COMAddIn

For a detailed description of how to develop a COM add-in, see the chapter "Add-ins, Templates, Wizards, and Libraries" in the Microsoft Office 2000 Visual Basic Programmer's Guide.

Sharing by exporting the project

You can export your modules from the Visual Basic Editor by selecting the module in the Project window and then pointing to Export File on the File menu. Point the Export File dialog box to the directory you want the file to reside in and FrontPage takes care of the rest.

Note   When exporting UserForm files, you must also include the .frx files. This file is used during the import process and does not need to be imported, but does need to be available in the same directory as the other modules.

Sharing by using the Office Developer Edition

The Office Developer Edition adds New Project and Make to the File menu and allows you to create multiple projects in the Visual Basic Editor. Using the Make command, you can compile a project into a .dll to share with others.
