Hi,

I've a couple of 'virtual directories' mapped into the root of the main
web on the IIS server. The problem is these just do not show up in
FrontPage 2003, neither locally nor remotely.

Are there any settings I'm missing in FrontPage?
Any tricks to have FP open those folders?

(btw, i also posted on m.p.inetserver.iis, but now thought the problem
could actually be with FrontPage and not IIS)

thanks,
- Jan
 
The FP extensions do not support viewing or accessing virtual directories, so they will never be
seen from within any version of the FP client application.

Thanks for the fast answer! Too bad it's not supported (and win2k
has no symlink support either). Maybe in FPE2003 sometime... Now
looks the solution is to copy all virtual dir content into a real
directory in the web root, which I'll do...

Actually, as per help in other NG: had only to use the FPSE2002
admin page to create a new sub web with exactly the same name as the
virtual dir, and now it works (FP sees the virtual dir and shows the
correct contents and allows editing it).
