I have an existing web app on a remote server that I want to manage

I cannot connect to the existing web app.
At the "Specify your web" dialog box I choose "connect to existing
web on server" but the only option that shows up is <root web>. I
cannot overwrite this option with the name of the web I want to
connect to
I can see this web application in the IIS Manager on the remote
server and .it is configured as a web application. It accessible in
a browser.
Why won't it show up in Visual InterDEV?
I've been using VID for several years and I still can't figure this out. A
couple times it was a problem with the FrontPage Server Extensions on the
web server, but more often than not, I have to select Create New
Application, and type in the name of the folder that already exists on the
web server. After answering No when it asks if I want to install the script
library, I usually have the same functionality with the application that I
would have if the appl,ication existed in the Existing Apps dropdown.
