| I am using Publisher 2003.I created my navigation bar using the Easy website
builder. The navigation bar and it's links work, going to different pages in
the web preview. When I place it on my web page's server the navigation bar
does not work. I get page cannot be found when clicking on the links? Any
suggestions?

see the FAQ, common mistake -

| It sounds like it's referencing pages locally (i.e.
C:\yoursitedir\pagename.html) so that when you preview it locally (on your
machine) it works fine. When you upload it to the server, though, there
IS no C:\ etc... so you get Page Not Found.
Solution: fix the links so they reference the pages without the
C:\yoursitedir\. So if there is a link to your home page (lets
call it index.html) then it would link to index.html and not
C:\yoursitedir\index.html. Same for files being linked to in
subdirectories. If you have a link to widgets.html in your Products
subdirectory, then the right way for the link to appear
would be products/widgets.html and not C:\yoursitedir\products\widgets.html
Hope this helps!

| Cynthia are you a Publisher user? (this is a Publisher forum)
Publisher writes the links and folders.

| David,
I am aware that this is a Publisher forum. From what Parker wrote
though, that is what
it sounds like the problem is.

| I was able to load each page on my server manually, by creating a folder on
the server called index_files. I then put all the files publisher created in
the sub-folder into it.

| using Publisher to upload gives you an assurance that all files are
correctly uploaded. If you don't use Publisher to upload you should create a
folder in My Documents and then browse to that folder when you save the web
and save the web there. Then upload the full contents of that folder using
the tool you want.

| Thanks Cynthia, that's exactly the problem I am having. I went to publisher
2003 for help on the problem and found nothing helpful -kind of like Bavid
Bartosik[MSFT MVP] who didn't even direct us to help properly. I am glad you
put your response on.

| Donna, sorry for your frustration, but instead of referencing a mixed issues
thread, perhaps you should restate your Pub version, your specific issues,
the specific steps you take to reproduce your issue, and post your URL for
review. It is hard to help when this information is not provided.
