Hello. I posted this last week and posted a new question, but didn't think
people would respond to something three pages back so....the original
question is at the bottom and the new one is the next paragraph. Thank you=)

Thank you Mark. Should I leave this broken link alone? or should I find the
file and move it? Will there be a problem if I delete it? Will frontpage
just create it again if I delete it?
Thank you for your time.
 
Leave it alone or you will break the form
- you should be looking at the link in FP code view
- not in browser view source

1. The hyperlink "broken link" tool is spotty at best. If it works, ignore
the fact that it says the link is broken.

2. The tool will report a "broken link" if the empty "form results" file is
missing. Not a big deal as it will get created as needed.

Either way, if the form works and you can't find a broken link by clicking
on stuff in the page, then there is nothing wrong and it's just a false
postitive.

Also, the broken link report has some details you are apparently not looking
at, double click on it to look. It will tell you exactly what the file path
is that is missing. It could be a spacer image or something not noticable
in the browser.
