I want to change its name and have done what Help suggests: Gone to Tools, clicked Web Settings, then the General tab. In the Web name box, I changed the web name and clicked okay. Nothing happens. I also tried clicking Apply and then okay, nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

I didn't know you could (or couldn't in your case). What I've always done is just gone to Windows Explorer and changed the directory name (without FP being open). That seems to work for me okay. -brian PS - I also just tried your way(the real way) and it worked for me. <edit> I'm wondering too, if maybe it is a permissions problem on the directory if this doesn't work? </edit> < Message edited by ou812 -- 6/8/2004 18:25:18 > (in reply to ZDawd)

If you change it as you mentioned with Windows Explorer, I am not sure the links would stay intact? Interesting that this "new" way worked for you. I have not experience with permissions problems and would not know how to check to see if this is the case. Perhaps someone else has some experience in changing a web name this way.

That is it didn't change the web name. I am the administrator for my computer, so I doubt that it's a permission problem. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I tried and tried. (in reply to ZDawd)

Try creating a new empty web with the new name. Import the files from the old web into it and then recalculate hyperlinks. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to glojack)
