Good old Laura! She's a gem. &nbsp;I followed these instructions and voila! It works, even though the web part is inserted in a page layout. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thanks so much - this will make maintaining umpteen links so much easier for my end users.

I have a links list at the top level of my 2010 publishing site. I would like to insert it as a web part or dataview in my page layout, so that it is shown on all pages derived from that page layout. However, pages created in a subsite from this page layout give an error:<br />
<br />
&quot;List does not exist. The page you selected contains a list that does not exist. &nbsp;It may have been deleted by another user.&quot;<br />
<br />
I've tried saving the web part to the top level gallery, and whether I choose the option to always use the links from the top site or to use links relative to the current site, I get the same error. <br />
<br />
So does anyone have any suggestions as to how to make this work? &nbsp;It used to work in 2007.<br />
<br />
Many thanks for your time.
