    I've been trying to get a third party rich text editor to work in my projects, but its not having it.  Then through a lot of fiddling around it turns out that it'll work alright, but only if its a Web Application project (not just a web site).

    I created a test project on my local machine, not a problem, works like a charm.  But in our office the files are all held on our domain server running IIS and SQL Server, which we connect to through a network and shared drives.

    When I go to create a Web Application, I am not given the option of creating it on our server, local drives only!  So, ok, I create it locally and hope that I can link the remote files to the app, but I can't see how to do that either, it just imports them to my local, which isn't any use.

    How can I get around this?

    Generally with a web application project, you will develop it on your local machine, then deploy it to the live server. This is obviously a different workflow to a web site project where you can edit it in place.

     Ah ok, cheers MelvynHarbour.

    I don't suppose there is a way to work around this?  Otherwise I'm going to have to either turn my computer into the company's web server, or lock out our projects to others who want to work on them (designers mainly) as I would end up overwriting their changes if I deploy over their work.

    What you'll probably need is some form of source control system so that multiple people can work on the code in a co-ordinated fashion.

    Yes, was afraid that would be the answer.  Thats a level of professionalism we have managed to avoid up till now.

    Many thanks for the prompt replies Melvyn.
