Do you have Personal Web Server installed? FP98 creates server-based webs
rather than disk-based webs and has to run PWS to create its web sites on
your local machine.

Other members might explain further....

Do you have a web server installed?
What version of Windows are you running?

FP98 requires a web server to function as designed.

FP 98 PWS is Not supported by Windows XP (or any local web server)
- Only Windows XP Pro comes w/ IIS (replaces PWS)
Uninstall PWS (from the FP98 install in Control panel - Add remove programs)
In FP 98
- you may be able to open an online server based web - http://www.yourfriendsite.com/
(but only if it is not on a Unix server running FP2002 SE, which by now most are)
- you will be able to open a local disc based web - C:\...

IMHO
Time to upgrade FP 98 to FP 2003
