ASP code HREF help needed

Windows 2012 R2 Web Server
IIS 8.5

Just moved my sites from a Windows 2003 with IIS 6 web server
Also moved many pages from wwwroot to wwwroot\folder2

one of the pages in wwwroot\folder2 calls a page that is still in wwwroot
when I click on the link I get 404 - File or directory not found.

this is my code

<form>
<input type="button" value="Sign Our Guest Book" onClick="window.location.href='GuestBook.htm'">
</form>

I tried this by adding ~/ which places you back to the root but since the site is in folder2 I am thinking the folder2 is the root for that site

<form> 
    <input type="button" value="Sign Our Guest Book" onClick="window.location.href='~/GuestBook.htm'">
  </form>

Open in new window

c:\inetpub\wwwroot\guestbook.htm
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\folder2\test.asp

how do I get test.asp to call guestbook.htm using the onclick href?

Thanks

Tom

Same results.

The url comes up like this http://www.tomsmp3.com/GuestBook.htm

And guestbook.htm is not in that folder

check it out www.tomsmp3.com

select guestbook at bottom of page your will see

Big Monty

Big Monty no worries

here is my folder structure

c:\inetpub\wwwroot
three files reside in this folder
guestbook.asp
guestbook.htm
guestbook2.asp

guestbook.htm is what is called by the onclick href

now in
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\music
music.asp

has
<form>
<input type="button" value="Sign Our Guest Book" onClick="window.location.href='/GuestBook.htm'">
</form>

If I copy the files into the music folder then I will have two copies of the same code.

In wwwroot is my main site home pages which call the same guestbook.htm code.

any other ideas?

Thanks every one for your help

I moved them to a new folder under the music folder

I like keeping code organized makes things easier to find when trouble shooting

Thanks again
