In Folder List right click your home page file name (that required by your host) and select Set as Home Page
Then in Navigation View make sure that is the file w/ the Home icon in it, and all your other pages are under it

| Jim,
| Thank you for your response. Unfortunately the
| excellent suggestions you made were unsuccessful.
|
| It is as if whichever .htm document is tagged as
| the "home page" is not capable of displaying the actual
| Navigation Structure. I find this especially odd because
| the error seems to indicate that the page is not in the
| Navigation window but a page that has been identified as
| the "home page" clearly is in the structure. Also, the
| menu works on all other pages than the actual home page.
|
| The real kicker is that this was working with my
| existing naming scheme up until I attempted to add another
| Meta variable earlier this morning. I have since removed
| that variable.
|
| Any additional advice would be greatly appreciated.
|
| -John
