Easy way to open pages in Homesite from inside DW MX?

Right now, In DW MX, when I want to open an htm or asp page in HOmesite, I
right click on the file in FILES panel, choose OPEN WITH / BROWSE and then
have to find the Homesite directory under the MM directory in PROGRAM FILES
directory.

It's a time waster. Isn't there a quick way to open files in Homesite from
inside DW?

Also, is there a way to ftp files directly from inside homesite or do I have
to save, come back into DW, get rid of the reloading warnings, and then ftp?

Under Edit Preferences go to the file type/editor and then define Homesite
as the External Code Editor. Then you can open the page in DWX, and under
the Edit menu you will have an option to "Edit with Homesite".

You can use FTP in Homesite but I have never set it up.

Paul, thanks for your reply.

Actually, the solution to my problem is simpler: EDIT / EDIT IN HOMESITE

I found it in the DW help.

thanks. crispy
