Could not open page

I have just been experiencing the problem that when I open my web locally in
FrontPage, I get the message:
Could not open page file:///C:/Documents and Settings/Trevor/my documents/My
Webs/myweb/index_main.html
At least that is what I think it says, as it truncates at 'myweb/ind'

The actual location of the file is C:\Documents and Settings\Trevor\My
Documents\My Webs\myweb\index_main.html

Clicking on Preview in Browser works fine

What is wrong ?
 
Could be a html file so corrupt (html broken) that FP can't parse it to open it (but IE is more forgiving of bad html)
- try right clicking to Open with notepad to view the source
- or view source in browser to see what is broken
Validate the page html
- try Tools Browser Compatibility for some error checking

Then again just try clearing all IE and FP temp files before opening FP

When I try to publish my web page from from hard drive, the images go into a
temp folder and will not upload. What am I doing wrong. I have plenty of
room on the broswer.
 
Yes
file:// == protocol
/ == file system root
C:/path/etc == drive, path and filename.

Compare with the file system on a Unix box (which I know very little
about).
 
Thanks to you all your replies, in particular SBR.

MikeR,
I also wondered about the three slashes, so thank you Ronx for your
explanation.

The situation sorted itself out. It could be that I amended some of the code
(as I do fairly often) and this removed the error that FP found. My code is
still not error free, although I do my best to keep it that way.
