Absolute Links in Front Page

I am having problems when creating links within my
website in front page. I am able to create an initial
link without any problems (it's a relative link).
However, when I go to create a second link the folder of
the page of the previous link opens up in the link
diaglog box. When I click on the "move up one-level
folder" front page automatically jumps back to the
desktop. When I navigate back to my website (which is
located in a my documents folder)front page creates an
absolute link that maps through mydocuments. I can view
the web page from my own computer, but because
mydocuments is not located on the server the link doesn't
work on the web.

Any ideas?

I working on Windows 2000 and using Frontpage XP. I can't
move the web to the desktop because I'm working off a
server (at a school that uses roaming profiles).
Thanks,
Hayden Williams

Make sure you first open a FrontPage Web (File, Open Web)
and only *then* start editing pages.
