You open and publish FP webs/sites
- Not just pages of a web/site
The after the FP web/site is open you open pages in the FP web/site
- index.html is a page not a site
If after you open your web/site you see it is in a server location such as
http://www.somesite.com)
But you want to work on your disc based site
- you opened the wrong FP web/site
To open one on your PC as a disc based site use
File Open Site and browse to the folder on your PC containing your FP site

| Thanks, Stephan. So I have an index.html file on my hard drive and want it

http://www.somepath), not the c:\somepath path I expect and want.
