SYMPTOMS
When you use Microsoft Access to create a field with the text box property in a Data Access Page and then open the page in FrontPage 2000, the text box is converted to a scrolling text box.



CAUSE
When creating the Data Access Page, Microsoft Access inserts a TEXTAREA tag for the text box. Microsoft FrontPage 2000 renders the TEXTAREA tag as a scrolling text box.



RESOLUTION
When you open an Office document in FrontPage, allow the originating application to open it.

To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the Tools menu, click Options.
 * 2) In the Options dialog box, click the General tab.
 * 3) In the Startup section, select the Check if Office is the default editor for pages created in Office check box.
 * 4) Click OK.



MORE INFORMATION
