Tom - when I have a web open on my internet host, then go Publish, the
remote can refer to anything, including my local PC, and that's what I was
doing. I'd really appreciate help with this - if you have a moment, check
out the conversation in my near-identical post on
microsoft.public.frontpage.client - "I'm doing something really dumb (I
think) - Publishing to local PC with IIS and FP extensions" - getting some
help there from Randy Birch, a Visual Basic MVP, but we're struggling at the
moment.
Have to go out this afternoon, but shall return!
Best wishes, and thanks,
