You should provide the code where you are using this path so that we can determine what you are trying to do and why it isn't working. For example, if you are using Server.MapPath it is expecting a virtual path, not an actual path.

A physical path starts with a disk, and then has an explicit path defintion; a virtual path starts with a tilde '~' and is followed by a subpath: "~/AreaManager/main.master"
Check exactly what you are passing to Server.MapPath - it's probably not a virtual path at all.

Without the relevant code fragments, there is no more we can do to help!
