Create a Web folder or Network Place for a backward-compatible document library

Applies to: Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003

To access the backward-compatible document library, you must create a Web folder or a Network Place.

Before you create a Web folder or Network Place, it is recommended that you see your system administrator or Internet service provider for the URL of a Web server that supports Web folders.

Note Network Places and Web folders are equivalent. In this topic, if the term Web folders is used and you have a computer running Windows 2000, substitute the term My Network Places.

Show Create a Web folder from My Computer

In My Computer, double-click Web Folders.
Double-click Add Web Folder.
Follow the instructions in the Add Web Folder Wizard.

Show Create a Web folder from a Microsoft Office 2003 application

In the Office application, click File, and then click Open.
In the Open dialog box, click Web Folders on the Look In bar.
You can create a Web folder or base a Web folder on an existing Web server location:
- To add a Web folder, click the Create New Folder icon on the toolbar, and then follow the instructions in the Add Web Folder Wizard.
- To base a new Web folder on an existing Web server location, type the Web address in the File name box, and then click OK.
  For example, type http://server_name/ to create a Web folder at that destination.
