Nov 5, 2011 at 16:27 comment added Gunnar Þór Magnússon @Qing Liu, it seems I do, good example.
Nov 5, 2011 at 13:04 comment added Qing Liu @Gunnar, I guess you want to suppose the fibers of $f$ are connected. In my counterexample below, $f$ is a submersion.
Nov 5, 2011 at 7:54 comment added Gunnar Þór Magnússon @Inkspot: This is true under the additional (strong) hypothesis that $f$ is a submersion. The proof is by standard techniques in point set topology.

Nov 4, 2011 at 21:58 comment added Angelo You could take a point in the boundary of $U$; then the inverse image is compact, since it is empty, but the function is not proper in a neighborhood of the point.

Nov 4, 2011 at 21:34 comment added Qing Liu @Tom: if $f$ is an open immersion, the answer is yes (take $U=f(X)$). Inkspot doesn't ask $f$ to be proper over $S$.
Nov 4, 2011 at 11:24 comment added inkspot Thank you. Wanting something to be true is, yet again, not enough.
Nov 4, 2011 at 10:56 comment added Tom Goodwillie No. Let $f$ be the inclusion of an open subset.
