Hyperliinks point to "C" drive! How do I fix this?

[glenf]

When I publish my web authored in FP 2000, the hyperlinks on the net point
to pages on my "C" drive rather than to the web. How (please make it simple
step by step, I'm not too smart) do I get them to point to the web? I've
had several people tell me that is the problem, but no details on how to fix
it. Take a look at www.triplenetinvestments.com and you'll see what I mean.

TIA

1) Do you have a web open on your client (rather than just a page) when you
are working on the web? File | Open Web

2) Have you imported your images into your open web in your FP client before
inserting on a page and saving?

Make sure that you are always open web first (File Menu | Open Web) and that
all content is either created in or imported into the current open web prior
to using it.

You need to import those .jpgs into your web directory. Then edit the link
to point to the web directory instead of your C drive.

Yes, the web was opened with File | Open Web and the hyperlinks in question
are all to new pages that were created within the web. Take a look at

You didn't answer #2, however. And that is your problem.

Your images are pointing to your hard drive on your local computer.

File | Import your images into your web before inserting on a page and
saving.

Tom,

Are you talking about photos, .jpgs, .gifs, etc? I'm talking about links to
web pages that were created within the web.

 

[JL Amerson]

WOW! Everything is pointing to your hard drive. Import EVERYTHING to your
server then go back in and redirect your links.

Did you see the folder was My Webs? ...
file:///C:/My%20Documents/My%20Webs/TNILLC/testimonials.htm ... rather than
wwwroot or his web name. Looks like he thinks the my web folder is a fp web
folder (?!)
