I get this error when I try to open a site from my harddrive (Localhost) -
when I click ok or cancel - it goes ahead and opens the site - can anyone
figure out why it opens with this error or wht I can do?

thanks
Pam

Pam,

Whey you say "open a site" do you mean within FrontPage or in your browser.
I can't think of any SQL Server Errors that you would ever see when trying
to open a FrontPage web, but if you have a website that is dependent on SQL
Server and you try to view pages within it, that would make sense.

Could you clarify?

Yes, I mean I open FP and then click on the File/Network
Places/localhost/websitename

I don't have any idea why any of my sites would be dependent on the SQL
Server ... ??? don't even know what its for. I did just have to install XP
PRO on a new hard drive and then reinstall all my programs.... still working
bugs out and this is one of them....

thanks
Pam
