SharePoint Designer Cannot Open Site
SharePoint Designer Cannot Open Site
- I keep getting the following error and do not know how to solve it. Can someone offer any advice on how I can use SharePoint Designer to open the SharePoint website on our server?
"The folder may be located in an unavailable location, protected with a password, or the filename contain illegal characters"
We have SharePoint set up using forms authentication.- Moved byMike Walsh MVPMVP, ModeratorThursday, November 05, 2009 4:01 PMspd q (From:SharePoint - General Question and Answers and Discussion)

- Make sure you have all the appropriate permissions for the site.
i.e. Full Control
Sometimes without Admin Rights this happens. It is a safe assumption that you do not have them if your seeing that message.- Proposed As Answer bydesign4fun Thursday, November 05, 2009 7:52 PM

- Thanks...I'll try that and let you know. I'm sure there are still many places within SharePoint where I am not the admin yet :)
