I've been using Dreamweaver for some time but in the site I'm now working on, whenever I click on the extrnal stylesheet Dreamweaver loads it in Split Screen & loses it. It gives a notice saying it's not on the Remote Sever. What is going on?

I don't know in which sense you mean the word, in the same place, as far as I can see, your PHP document is in a doc folder, and your CSS style in the root of the site... so the path should look like ../style.css ... is that right?

Oh my goodness, you're right. I never saw that. How stupid of me! The index file is in the root directory (of course) & refers to the CSS in the same place. I created all the other pages using the same hed, before deciding to move them all into a seperate folder. Ignoramus. I will now update the headers in all the other pages to refer to the CSS on the site root.

Apologies for being so stupid.

Don't suppose you know why Dreanweaver tries to open lost CSS sheets in Split View??

To parse PHP files locally, you need a local testing server.

Did you define it in Dreamweaver's Site Manager?

Is your local testing server running?
