Is there a way to have a page (say page1.html) expire on a certain date and
redirect to a new page (say page2.html) after that date? I'd like to keep
the old page1.html for reference but display page2.html after the expiration
date.

Thanks

Hi Bob,

You'd probably need some server side code. In asp you could do
<%
if date() > [YourExpiryDate] then
response.status="301 Moved Permanently"
response.addheader "Location", "http://you.com/page2.htm"
end if
%>

Don't be tempted to just stick a response.redirect in there as the search
engines will penalise you.
 
Under Insert > Web Component, then choose Included Content.

Then choose "Page Based on Schedule". This uses the FP server Extensions,
so you might need an alternative as below if you don't use the FPSE on your
server.

In order for that to work, you need to open the live web and recalculate the
hyperlinks after the time you've specified.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to try the ASP code for date > then
redirect and see how that goes.

I appreciate you taking the time to answer.
