Re: can't create web folders
Browse to the live/remote site in IE, then File Menu | Edit in FP, this will create the web folder.

Re: can't create web folders
I have tried that as well. No luck, I have 3 different websites I have
tried all do the same. Another point when I go to IE | Edit in FP, the borders on the page do not load. "Thomas A.

Re: can't create web folders
It gives me a message that the folder isn't available. I tried it with two
different sites and got the same message. "Thomas A.

Re: can't create web folders
Do these sites have FrontPage extensions? If they do check the
settings in your firewall - it may be blocking FrontPage access on port 80. (In early versions of Zone Alarm, FP needs to be set with server functionality). -- Ron Symonds Microsoft MVP (FrontPage) Reply only to group - emails will be deleted unread.

Re: can't create web folders
Yes, fp extensions are installed. I have tried with the firewall off and
still no response. I have had one of the sites connect since last night, but I am still getting the same message on the other two.
