<div>
how are you making a link?<br />
by selecting the file directly? by typing the path in the link box? or using html code?

Thanks that seems to do it but do the links remain relative if the folder moves. &nbsp;I have had to move this particular site twice since I developed the web ap. &nbsp; Thus the problem I have encountered.

<div>
If the links are relative to the document, then no matter where the site resides on the drive, the links will work.<br />
<br />
What will screw up a document relative link is if you move the files or folders around within the site in something other than Dreamweaver. &nbsp;If you user DW to handle the moves, it will prompt you to update the links in the affected files.

I have a problem with the links on web pages I am developing using dreamweaver.  When I try to make a link a "/" automatically appears in the link box and this causes it to omit the root folder on the server.  When I eliminate this slash, the root folder shows properly.
