George, Hmm, I changed the filename to bob.htm and it worked!! Also tried history.htm but this didn't work, guess background & history are reserved words...hooray, got to change all those links in other pages, still at least problem solved, I love this list!! -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of George Bell Sent: 03 August 2005 16:30 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Problem with writing a web page Hi Phil, What syntax are you using to link it? Can you show us the code? Just an aside thought. Could "Background" be a reserved word? Try renaming the file and then link to it.
