Force a "https" page

How can I modify a FrontPage web to automatically go to the "https" version
of a specific page.

I know I can simply create a hyperlink on a page to point to the "https"
version, but what about the FrontPage navigation bars. The only thing I can
edit on the default navigation bars are the various website levels they will
display.

Thanks,
ToddK
 
You have to create a link with https to switch to SSL mode. With FP
navigation, you would have to select the option to create an external link.

But I'm not given that choice in the navigation bar?

For example, I have a shared border with a Navigation Bar. If I double-click
on the Navigation Bar for the properties, I am only given the option to
choose the different levels of navigation, not the links themselves?

I know I can accomplish this if I add a separate link altogether, but that
defeats the purpose of using the "built-in" navigation bars.

Thanks!

The function of FP navigation component is to help you maintain relative
hyperlinks within your web. FP can not manage absolute URLs (external
hyperlinks). So you will either have to use the regular FP navigation
component where you can add external hyperlink or add a separate link below
the navigation bar component or place a link directly on a page to access
SSL.
