  1. I have VS 2003 on a XP Home computer. I have developed a website with an Access database attached for over a year without any problems. When I made some changes to the site (added a new form) it was saved to my local computer and not to the server. Whenever I try to run the debugger I get a 'VS is unable to locate a web server on this computer'. I am able to work with other websites and this is a recent change as I have not varied my practice at all. Usually I simply make the changes and then save it to upload it to the server (have never used the Copy Project function) and open the web site by clicking on the *.sln file. My FrontPage extensions were corrupted recently and had to be reloaded, could this issue be related?

    are you trying to run debugging while opening the project located on the server?

    remote debugging is not supported.

  3. Sorry, I wasn't clear. I am not trying to run debugging. I use CTRL-F5 (run without debugging). That's when I get the error.
     
  4. Got it to work again. Thanks.
