|I guess my question wasn't specific enough. Sorry about that. Okay, in My
| Documents, I have the folder My Webs, which is what my web is in. When I add
| a link to my link bar of a page I just made it directs it to C://My
| Documents/My Webs, etc. so if I upload it onto the server when I click on the
| link it won't open because it's directed to the folder on my hard drive. I
| know how to fix it if it's just a plain hyperlink, but I can't figure out how
| to change it in a link bar. I hope that explains the problem better.
