The error says exactly what the problem is.
The file doesn't exist. Be sure that you have uploaded to the file to root directory of your site. If you have uploaded it to a different folder you need to have that folder in the address as well.

Thank you for your reply Brad. I am not sure how to upload to the root directory. I just created the htm file and uploaded it with my calendar. I am not very good at this. just following the steps that were given to me. can you help me further as to get to the root directory of my site?

Are you working in a defined local site folder? That's a critical 1st step for working with Dreamweaver.
Go to Site > New Site and enter a site name that makes sense to you.
Go to Servers and enter your site FTP log -in credentials and root directory. If unsure what to use here, contact your hosting provider.
Finally, expand your Files Panel and connect to your server. Ideally, your remote server and local files folder should be nearly identical. Check to see that your files are the same on both sides.
Post back if you have any questions.

Hi Nancy,
Yes I am working in a defined local site folder. When I go the New Site and enter a site name that makes sense to me is that the name I have to use or is it just temporary so I can get my files in my root folder and then open as my regular site name? I know my credentials but is my root directory my url? And in the local information part do I make my links relevant to documents (as I have now) or do I make my links relevant to Site Root?
Thanks for any assistance

Hi Preran,
I have followed Nancy’s instructions and find that I do not have a root directory on either my old site or the new site that I am establishing. Should I just use the public_html/ ? otherwise everything seems to be okay up to this point.
Thanks,
Ollie

Root directory varies by hosting plan. If unsure what yours is, ask your hosting provider.

Thanks Nancy. We have never had a root directory. Do we need one?

Only if your hosting plan requires you to use one.
