I have two projects

One on my PC (local)

One on the server (in production)

I copied over the files from the server, double clicked the sln file to open the project on my PC for editing but recieve the following message.

Web Access Failed
The default Web access mode for this project is et to file share, but the project folder at 'http://ProdIISA/Ops/All/Software' cannot be opened with the path '\\ProdIISA\wwwroot$\Ops\All\Software'. The error returned was:

Unable to open Web Project 'Ops/All/Software'. The Web 'Ops/All/Software' located on server 'http://ProdIISA does not exist.

What would you like to do?

Then it gives the me the choice
Retry using a different file share path
or
Try to open the project with FrontPage Server Extensions


I can successfully open the copy that already on my machine.

Does anybody know why I can't open the project to edit?
 
You can either edit the project and solution files (they are just text files containing the paths to the files and other things) or you can create a new solution/project and add the files.
 
As I said, the solution and project files are just text files containing the paths to the folders/files as well as other information relating to the solution (other information includes references and compilation information). A solution file will have the file extension .sln and a project file will have the extension .vbproj

If you don't believe me, open them and you will see. You can right click them in windows explorer and choose open with; then select notepad, wordpad, or your favorite text editor.
