Help me with photo gallery

After I insert photo gallery in my existing web page, and I click save the
page, but Frontpage noticed me that "To save this page and photo gallery,
open a Frontpage based web site, and save the page to that site" What does it
mean? How can I do?

Sorry, but do just what it says ... make sure the whole site is open before
you attempt to build the gallery. I wish that with FP it was not possible to
open just a page ...rather than a page within a site. Here are two articles
to help you:

when you are totally fed up with that component read this article and
consider using JAlbum:

You first open the web / site where you want to have the photo gallery via File Menu | Open Web /
Site then you can create the photo gallery. When work with your web content, you must always open
the web / site first.

Hi Rob...
Please tell me why I would want to do that. Why wouldn't I always be within
a site? So many people make the mistake of not opening a site first that I
think it would be best to not have this happen.

Funny you should mention this. Today I tried opening a page from explorer,
FP opened the web as well as the page (disk based). From IE edit page, FP
opened the page and the *on site* web. Open FP, open page also opened the
site and the page. I'm confuseded. Been using FP for a number of years and
have ALWAYS open web first, but seems open page works fine. Your thoughts?

That [opening the web along with the page] often happens, but for some users
they only get the page, not the web as well.
However, when creating a *new* page, the web *must* be opened first (if the
page will be part of a web). For most pages not having the web open first
causes problems with links, for the photogallery, its a disaster; you have
to start again. IMO the photogallery should be a web template, then a web
will be created for it if a web isn't open already.

Thanx, I must be one of the lucky ones.
