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.

-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
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
