A frames page is a special kind of HTML page that divides the browser window into different areas called frames, each of which can display a different HTML page. The frames page itself contains no visible content. It is just a container that specifies which other pages to display and how to display them. Data access pages cannot contain a frameset. However, frames can contain data access pages.
Steps to Reproduce the Behavior
- Open any text editor, such as Notepad, and then add the following HTML tags:
<html>
<head>
<title>Frameset example</title>
</head>
<frameset rows="40%,*">
<frame name="upperFrame" src="">
<frame name="lowerFrame" src="">
</frameset>
<noframes>
<body>
<p>Your browser does not support frames.</p>
</body>
</noframes>
</html>
- Save this text file as C:\MyTest.htm. If you open this file in your browser window, note that there are two frames or "panes" in the window.
- Open Microsoft Access 2000.
- In the Database window, click Pages under Objects, and then click Edit web page that already exists.
- In the Locate Web Page dialog box, type c:\MyTest.htm in the File Name box, and then click Open. Note that you receive the following error message:
You cannot edit this page because it contains frames. The data access page designer cannot edit pages with frames.
