Jim, if your Navigation Bar is in a shared border, any changes you make to
it on one page will be reflected on all pages that have that border. It
sounds like your Home Page and its child pages all have a left shared
border, and that you Navigation Bar is in that border. That's why when you
make the change on one page (your Home Page or any other) the change is made
on all. Your best course of action might be to remove the shared border from
your Home Page, and just place a Navigation Bar on the left side of the
page. Configure that Navigation Bar to navigate to child pages. Then on any
one of the child pages, you can configure the Navigation Bar to navigate to
same-level pages.
Now, may I offer a bit of design advice? Visitors to your Web will expect
consistent behavior from your navigation links. If links on the left side of
a page take them to child pages from one page, they'll expect links on the
left side of a page to take them to child pages on every page (IMHO). It
shouldn't be the case (again IMHO) that a link on one page will take you to
a child page while a link in that same position on another page will take
you to a same-level page. It's just too confusing. [In my (WARNING:
Shameless promotion coming up) FrontPage Web, I've tried to be ruthlessly
consistent about this, so visitors will always have a clear idea about where
any link will take them. Please take a look and let me know what you think.]
So rather than putting a Navigation Bar on your Home Page, maybe you should
use some other kind of navigation aid, such as a bulleted list of
hyperlinks, or hover buttons. Just a thought.

In the far left column of my Home Page, I have set a
Navigation Bar that includes Child Pages.
However, on the Child Pages, I want a bar that is for
same leve.
It seems that when i change the Home Page, the other
default Bars change with it and vice versa.
I hope I'm not TOO much of a pain today.
