SYMPTOMS
========

The hyperlink information that is displayed in FrontPage Explorer is not the
same as the information that is stored in the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)
code of the Web page.

This problem occurs because FrontPage Explorer always updates the hyperlink
information in FrontPage Editor if you rename a file.

  another Web page.

  -and-

- You rename the Web page that is referenced by the hyperlink in FrontPage
  Explorer.

  -and-

- The page that contains the hyperlink to the Web page with the changed name is
  open in FrontPage Editor.

NOTE: The hyperlink is updated in FrontPage Editor even though you click No when
you are prompted to update the link in FrontPage Explorer.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, close FrontPage Editor before you rename files in
FrontPage Explorer.

STATUS
======
