Dynamic web templates and Link Bars

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

this is the "active" Frontpage forum.)

Hi,

I'm working on a web-site which uses dwts. There are link bars in the
editable regions. However, viewed in a browser, the link bars no longer
point to valid addresses. I've run "Tools -> Recalculate Hyperlinks". I've
also tried inserting new link bars.

What happens is the link bars now create links which have the correct page
name but look for them in the same folder in which the DWT is - and they
aren't there.

I may have caused this problem unintentionally because I moved pages in
Folder List by dragging and dropping some pages to another folder on the
understanding that FP would have tracked these changes as it tracks others.

The Navigation view is still correct and correctly knows where any file is.

Are there rules or guidelines about the place where pages linked to a DWT
should be stored?

Is it possible to restore the integrity of the mechanism by deleting
something?

Was it incorrect to move pages by dragging and dropping in Folder List?

Thanks for any comments,

Jim.
