I created a number of linked and cross referenced PowerPoint presentations
on my personal PC at home, and all the links etc worked OK. I zipped all 26
files into a single zip file and emailed to myself at work where I unzipped
them to my local hard drive, then dragged and dropped them into a folder I'd
created on our internal server. I then did a bit of work in FrontPage to
give a link to the first presentation, which works A OK, but when I click a
link in this presentation to move onto the next presentation in the series I
get

The page cannot be displayed The page you are looking for is currently
unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or
you may need to adjust your browser settings,

and the URL in the address bar is pointing to the hard disk on my works PC.

How do I make these links point to the server locations?

I'm hoping there's an easy way to do this since I don't want to have to
recreate all the links manually.

I have checked the Use relative path option for the link, but still no joy.

Any help gratefully received.

Reopen the PPT on your server and reset the links

No.

I created all presentations and links on my home PC, zipped it up emailed to
me at work, unzipped to local machine and dragged and drooped to the server
via Windows Explorer.

Tried that, but for some reason no go.

The URL looks like I would expect it to, ie just the file name -
NCC_SIA_Annex_A_Guide_CAM_Index.ppt, which I believe should be OK since all
files are in the same folder on the server. However when I use any of the
links in my browser I get an error message, and the address bar tries to
link back to my local hard disk as follows:
D:\Documents%20and%20Settings\802327503\Local%20Settings\Temporary%20Interne
t%20Files\Content.IE5\CXCTYXGD\NCC_SIA_Annex_A_Guide_CAM_Index.ppt

I recognise all of this bar the CXCTYXGD\ bit.

Any other suggestions?
