Cannot open Sharepoint site in FrontPage 2003

Angela

I am trying to open a Sharepoint site for editing in FrontPage 2003 by
clicking on File|Open Site. I then type in the name of the site starting
with http:// etc. FrontPage then attempts to connect to the server. Then an
error message appears as follows:

"The folder (folder name) isn't accessible. The folder may be located in an
unavailable location or protected with a password or the file name contains a
/ or \.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Open the site in Internet Explorer, then click File > Edit with FrontPage and see what
happens.

The folder "http://Website" isn't accessible. The folder may be located on
an unavailable volume or protected with a password.

Hi thanks for that, but have tried that already. This will open just the
page being displayed in Internet Explorer and not the entire site. If I make
any changes to the page I am then unable to save them back to their original
location.

Any other ideas?

Thanks.
