Can't preview in DreamWeaver

NOTE: The following article primarily applies to customers with Virtual Web Hosting accounts. These sites have a URL like http://w3.atlcon.net/~yourname

If you're using DreamWeaver and select the "Preview in IEXPLORE" option, you may get an error message like the following:

Cannot find the path specified

This is typically caused by an incorrect "Host Directory" configuration. You can resolve the problem by adding a forward slash BEFORE the directory name (e.g., change ~yourname to /~yourname).

More information is available on the DreamWeaver site here -- follow the link to "Change Host Directory Information."

With thanks to Lynn Davis for this information
