1. does the driver's door lock/unlock with the key?
2. can you hear any 'clunks' inside the door when you press the remote?
It could be a disconnected operating rod or a failed Door Latch microswitch. You're going to have to take the door card off to see and hear exactly what is happening.

DrF, please view this link for a question about a similar problem. The way to diagnose this for you, if the ideas in the thread don't solve it right away, will be to acknowledge and answer all the questions that were launched earlier in the discussion to the original poster. Looks like they all apply to you too.
Don't know how new you are, but FYI: I used an advanced search on Door Locks & with my name as a poster in the discussions. It brings up a bunch of threads but I remember I've discussed this issue several times before, that's why I added my name to the search.
Let us know how you do after reading the thread, and if you can't solve it please do post and answer the questions so we can help you get to the root of it all.

If I may revive this thread...I have the same issue on my recently purchased 97 with the fob arming the alarm but not locking the doors. When I test drove the car they worked properly. After I drove the car home they started acting up with the passenger door no longer locking and the driver's door cycling locked to unlocked several times before finally locking. Now neither door will lock with the fob but the fob will arm the alarm system. I checked the fuse in the passenger side fuse box and the 10A fuse has been replaced with a 20A. I don't consider that to be a good sign. The doors do not autolock when the car is placed in drive now but they did during the test drive. I dug through the repair orders the previous owner provided and there are a few instances of issues with the door locks noted.

I want to thank the team who runs this forum, I would have had a difficult time diagnosing and repairing this issue without the information I was able to gather here.

Have you tried to open the doors from the other front door. I occasionally have my drivers door not open and I do 1 of 2 things to open it.
First I try the button on the dash the locks and opens the door if that doesn't work then I reach over and open the front passenger door and that does it.
I had to replace the passenger lock due to this flakiness and now the drivers door is at it.
