Trouble loading a local FP web into FP.

[Stan Hilliard]

I have a local FP web that I can access with my browser using the
address: http://tower/tsamplingforum21/

However when I paste that address into FP2000 at [file][Open
Web][Folder Name] I get the message:
"Folder "http://tower/tsamplingforum21/" isn't accessible ..."

Why does that address work in Firefox and not FP?

How can I open the web in FP?

FP is not a browser. FP can only open a web or subweb.

Now I am confused:

I can open http://tower/tsamplingforum17 in FP from [File][Recent
webs]

I can open E:\WebShare\wwwroot\tsamplingforum21 in FP from
[File][Recent webs]

Very different addressing, but they both open from [recent webs].
Q: Is there any difference in what FP can do with them depending on
how they were loaded?

But http://tower/tsamplingforum21 is not in [recent webs] because I
recently published it from the Internet server to my PC.

According to [recent webs] I have used this form of addressing before,
as in the example above showing it in [recent webs].

I expected to be able to open http://tower/tsamplingforum21 from
[file][Open Web][Folder Name] because I used that syntax before with
*17.

I did it before but I can't now. I am confused about the addressing.

You need to open http://tower first, then double click to open "tsamplingforum17". This will work as
long as "" has a blue globe on the folder, indicating that is a subweb.

When you open a server based (http) web via drive letter (E:\) you screw up the extensions, since FP
now sees the web as disk based.

With server based web you always need to open them in the same manner.

The method I indicated above has never failed for me, and I use FP2000 / Windows XP Pro daily and
have access to 200+ local subwebs under 10+ root webs running on Windows 2003 Server
