FrontPage 2003 Top Issues
"The Document Could Not Be Created" Error Message When You Click New DocumentThe information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003
- Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services
SYMPTOMS
When you click New Document on a Windows SharePoint Services list view page, you receive the following error message:
- Check the General Settings for this Document Library for the name of the template, and install the application necessary for opening the template. If the application was set to install on first use, run the application and then try creating a new document again.
- If you have permission to modify this Document Library, go to General Settings for the library and configure a new template.
CAUSE
This issue occurs if you use Microsoft
Office FrontPage 2003 to create a new page, and then the
new page is used as a template file for the
New Document in the list
view page.
By default, FrontPage 2003 does not insert the Generator
tags and ProgID tags in new pages. The
New Document link on a
Windows SharePoint Services list view page requires the
Generator tag and ProgID tags in the page in so that the
page can be opened in FrontPage.
Note By default, the Generator and
ProgID tags are inserted in new pages in versions of
FrontPage earlier than FrontPage 2003.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, open the template by using FrontPage, and then insert the following Generator tags and ProgID tags between the <head> and </head > tags of the page that is to be used as a template file for the New Document in the list view page:
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 6.0"> <meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
For example, the
HTML code should appear similar to the following:
<html>
<head>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage
6.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252">
<title>New Page 1</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
You can also change the default behavior of Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003 so that the Generator tags and ProgID tags are automatically inserted in new pages. To do this, follow these steps:
- Start FrontPage, and then click Page Options on the Tools menu.
- Click the Authoring tab, click to select the Generator and ProgID tags check box, and then click OK.
