I have an asp/html project that I have been working with in Visual 

interdev. This project has about 15 pages, a combo of .asp's and .htm's. 

At one point I could open all pages in Project Explorer. Now I could open 

about half of them, without a problem, but various pages that I have 

opened before get the following error message:



Unable to open web project "projcal". Server error: You cannot open a web 

at or create a subweb beneath the URL "/projcal", because it is an alias. 

Use the full URL instead. Do you want to open your local copy? Yes/No.



I originally was using Master mode. After this error occurred for various 

pages, I changed to Local mode and it was fine briefly. Then the same 

thing happened in Local mode. I can click yes to open the page. However, 

for the pages with this problem, I cannot compare to master web or get 

last version. I get the same error. An alias was created in 

C:\inetpub\wwwroot, with the alias name of "projcal", when the project was 

created. 



Thanks for any help with this.



Larry

Larry,



I'm not exactly sure (from your description) what your setup was - you

haven't provided any real details on your physical file system setup (what

folders were created where, and what applications etc were setup).



Have you thought about simply creating a new project, in a new folder, and

importing all your existing pages into this new project? Since you only have

15 pages, it shouldn't take more than 1-2 minutes.



Cheers

Ken

Ken, How do you Import into a Visual Interdevdev project? I see no options

to do so, unless you are talking about copy and paste.



Thanks,

In the Project Explorer you right click on where you want to import the file

to. You choose "Add Item". On the dialogue box that pops up you choose

"Existing", and you navigate to where your files are that you want to

import. You can either import a whole folder at a time, or individual files.

Ken, I have been using this method. I have already created 5 different

projects. What I did differently this time is let everything default to the

_local folder and so far it is fine. What I don't understand is the

difference between the local and master web. When you create the project, it

does not give you an option to specify both.  Shouldn't I be specifying a

path where the files are and the local gets created automatically?



Now, I imported the project into Front Page 2000, using the import wizard.

When I view in browser from front page, I realized that it is not using the

Global.asa, even though it is part of the Front Page project. Do you have

any ideas as to why it is not executed?



Thanks for your help.  I really appreciate it!



Larry

Um, your master web is the website. Your local web is where you check things

out to to edit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Since I usually work on my own machine, I use in master mode. I point the

"New Project Wizard" to localhost, and it creates the necessary project

files.

Probably because the "Preview in Browser" feature in Frontpage uses:

c:\inetpub\wwwroot\somefile.asp

to view the page rather than

http://localhost/somefile.asp



I don't use Frontpage so I don't know this for certain.



On a final note, your question doesn't really have anything to do with

Access and ASP, so it's getting very off-topic. I suggest you look for a

Visual Interdev list (p2p.wrox.com probably has one)
