This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. To programmatically open a page in page view without manually opening the web, you must also programmatically open the web. The following Visual Basic for Applications macro sample opens a disk-based web called "DBWeb" (located on the C: drive) and then opens a page named "MyHTMLPage.htm."

Sub OpenPage()

Dim myWeb As Web 'Declares myWeb as a Web object
Dim myFile As WebFile 'Declares myFile as a file

Set myWeb = Webs.Open("C:\DBWeb") ' Opens the Web
' Defines myFile as the MyHTMLPage.htm located in the Root Folder of 
' the Active Web
Set myFile = ActiveWeb.RootFolder.Files("MyHTMLPage.htm") 
myFile.Open ' Opens the page

End Sub
