Default How do I add a network location

On XP you simply had to add a network place (I have a few domains that I
update all the time). I can't publish from any of my Office Professional
2007 programs and I just can't add a remote location. When I try to add a
location it take me to my wireless network and then won't let me add a
folder. I'm pulling my hair out! Can anyone help me access my other sites?

I'm probably going to need to install 2003 Front Page again.

Default How do I add a network location

Hi Judith,

Are you trying to add the location using the wizard? It can be accessed by
following these steps:

1. Open Computer by clicking the Start button, and then clicking Computer.

2. Right-click anywhere in the folder, and then click Add a Network
Location.

3. Follow the steps in the wizard to add a shortcut to a location on your
network, a website, or an FTP site.

I tried this to add a website that I use to store documents. This site is
password protected. This works fine in XP Pro. When I tried this in Windows
Vista Biz edition after entered the URL I received the following message:

"The folder you entered appears to be invalid. Please select another"

Since this works in XP Pro I can only assume that it is something in Vista,
but what?

Charlene, I am also experiencing the same problem using Vista Business
edition. When I go through the Wizard, when I copy and paste the URL for any
of our business locations, I receive the message, "The folder you entered
does not appear to be valid. Please enter another."
It is a valid location that I can access using XP - it should ask for a
username & password.

Thanks for assistance, DP
