FP: Broken Hyperlink after Creating Corporate Presence Web

• Microsoft FrontPage 97 for Windows with Bonus Pack
• Microsoft FrontPage for Windows, version 1.1

SYMPTOMS

In FrontPage Explorer, when you verify hyperlinks for a new Corporate Presence Web, the Verify Hyperlinks dialog box indicates there is a broken internal hyperlink to the Search.htm page. And, in a web browser, when you click the Search hyperlink on the News.htm page, you receive the following error message:

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the FrontPage Corporate Presence Wizard creates a "What's New" page (News.htm) that contains a link to the Search.htm page regardless of which options you select in the Corporate Presence Wizard. The News.htm page should not contain a hyperlink to the Search.htm page.
