Hi,
I have posted several times looking for a solution, but I am new to Frontpage so I am still struggling!!!! anyway I have pasted full thread of previous posts below, but the problem is that I am trying to redirect to a file within the same folder after several seconds. So, in page props/custom/modify name = refresh then from previous posts I gather value is
5; url= Rainbow - p12.htm where name of file is Rainbow - p12 in the file
When I run this though after 5 seconds it comes up with page not found

Help here would be appreciated

Previous Posts:
you don't want the file:// part. in other words, if the file you want to
redirect to is in the same folder on the disk it's just filename.extension
if it's in a folder below the page on your disk that does the redirect it's
foldername/filename.extension
if it's above it's ../foldername/filename.extension
HTH

interpreting it wrong but if anyone can help with a specific answer (ie a
file pathway such as file:///My Webs/Rainbow - p12.htm <---- this one
dosent work!) it would be most appreciated.

if the file you want to redirect to is in the same folder you don't need
anything but the file name like this filename.htm (or whatever extension it
is)
my suggestion:
rename the file. it looks like you've got a dash and some spaces in the
file name. try this: name the file x.htm (or whatever extension it is) and
it should work.
do you have this page online so I could see it?

Also you need to remove all spaces from folder and file names.

Enter the redirect tag directly in HTML/Code view of the page.

Thanks very much, it was spaces in file names. I've now got to rename over 200 files and relink them!!!!

Cheers
 
If you have the web open in FP, and rename the file, all link should be
updated as well, as long as they are not within scripts.
