Thanks Rob.

This is how I used to open and edit my web, but co-incident with the error
message re WSS all local copies of files disappeared. I have now copied
them back from the server, but am still mystified as to why I got the
message - I'm told WSS can only be installed on servers, and why my local
copies of my webs disappeared.
