FORM. I just want it to use as links

If you're using FP2003, make sure that in the Jump Menu dialog box, Open URLs
In is set to Page Default (None).

Otherwise, opening in the same window should be the default. Perhaps your
page default is set incorrectly. For example, open the page in Code view and
remove any <base targbet=> tags you find.

I have a logo at the top of the pages that is hyperlink to the main/index page
& it opens in the same window, so there is nothing in the site setup that is
triggering the new window when I use the dropdown menu.

I also tried a test page where I removed the dropdown menu and just used text
with hyperlink and they opened in the same window.

I'm getting started on a new test page that will have nothing but the logo at
the top and the the dropdown menu and see what happens then. Thanks for your
reply

Well, I tried both techniques in a simple page and neither opened the target
page in in a new window. Here's my URL:

Jim, I found my problem when I started with a clean page. I had tried another
drop down and code was left from it. I'm sorry I can't list the URL yet. It's
a password protected site at the moment. It involves a merger and the merger
has not been formalized yet. The reason for building a new site!! Again,
thanks to you and a few others I'm pestering by phone, the basic site is now
together.

I've just input the code into my index.htm page. I've set up a sample, Atlas
Snowshoes, and put http://www.atlassnowshoe.com for the value. Upon clicking
okay in the form field properties FrontPage informs me it may not recognize
the controls I've set??? I've saved the changes to the site and have tried
to visit Atlas Snowshoes via the drop-down at my website, but it won't follow
the hyperlink.

Any ideas??? Very helpful so far!!

Thanks,
Zak
