Why can't I insert jpeg files into Front Page files?<br>I can insert clip art.<br>Every time I select insert, and then select the .jpg file I want to insert I get the message:<br>"Could not insert c:\webpictures\xxxx.jpg", such as Ms.jpg. I tried inserting files from a digital camera and couldn't do it and I tried the simple .jpg file called Ms.jpg found in Win 95 c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\grphflt and it wouldn't do it.<br>But if I manaully enter in the html code to insert the Ms.jpg file it does it!

Inserting jpeg files into Front Page files

Hi Crayfish,<br><br>Is the ms.jpg in use (by another program)? Did you try another *.jpg file, one know not to be in use?<br><br>Also, your last two sentences lead me to beleive that there is a problem with your path to your file. As a test, copy the *.jpe file into the same directory as your html document (this will get rid of need for a path). Also if the file is in use it won't copy.<br><br>Keep us posted.<br><br>Boxplan<br>

Thanks boxplan, I tried your solutions and in doing so I stumbled upon what was wrong. I did the stuff you said and everything was checking out - then I found out that you can't say "insert, file", you have to say "insert, picture, from file". If you say "insert, file" it never lets me insert a jpeg file. But if I say "insert, picture, from file, it does it every time. I'm still puzzled why you have to use the "insert, picture" path.
