Owen;
I have also had a simmilar problem. The first thing to do is make
sure you can create a Web solution, period. If you can create a
solution, then you can always link your project files to a solution
outside of VSS. (The vbproj or csproj and aspx etc files linked
directly to your wwwroot /Solution virtual directory, and the solution
residing only locally)
Hope this helps.
Gord
