FP 98 Error message: not valid host name....

[P. Miller]

When I attempt to open a FrontPage Web, I get the message
".....is not a valid host name or IP address."

I have not had this problem previously, but really need
to get to these pages. Can anyone help?

Thanks

This is on a local web

Are you launching FrontPage Explorer and then selecting a web to open from
the drop down??

Yes...I have 3 listed...all give the same message...

Have you checked to make sure the PWS ( Personal Web Server ) is started
also.
PWS needs to be started to open the web in FrontPage Editor after it is
selected in FrontPage Explorer.
PWS should show in your taskbar along with FrontPage Explorer.

Sorry I couldn't get back sooner....PWS is running. I
still cannot open any of the webs that have been saved.
Is there another way to access them?

Thanks so much for you help
