Thanks Thomas & Jim,

but I'm not actually linking to Access nor using DRW. I
want to programmatacly place a link in an html table to a
html file which has been generated by the 'Export Query
to HTML' feature of Access. One of the table fields I'm
exporting contains the code of an item I want to display
i.e. AA1, the exported html file is named as this code. I
want users to be able to click the link in the resulting
table and open AA1.htm

Access is exporting the code embedded in an html anchor,
but I can't stop FrontPage from replacing > with &tl;

Do you have an idea?

TIA, Simon

How are you bringing the page into FP after you have exported it from
Access?

In FrontPage, using File, Import

The expression in my query is as follows...

Details: "<a href=" &
Code: 
 & ">See Details</a>"

When exporting my query as an html file (In Access, File
Export - AA1.htm) then importing AA1.htm into FrontPage
the > is replaced with &lt;

How can I prevent this.

TIA, Simon

PS I use this method in DRW pages with ease, because I
can force columns to display As HTML in the Column
Properties as Jim explained earlier on.  But I don't have
this property in an HTML raw table...

Simon,

The problem is that since you are exporting the page from Access, it is not
filling in the URL Values, this is not an FP issue.

The only solution in FP, since you don't want to use the Access database and
the DRW in the web site, is to manually create your hyperlinks.

Without the data source and ASP/VBScript there is no way for the " &
Code: 
& " to be dynamically replaced on the page when view in a browser.
