Hello, how are you?

Will it be possible for me to creat some kind of code so that when I open one page it will automatically go into different places?

Let me explain that one more time, just in case....
My situation is that I want to make some web addresses look simple(short), so that people will remember. But the actual contents are located in a sub-sub-directory.
I'm using MS fronpage 97, if you're wondering.
Hope I made you understand my situation.

Thank you.[nbsp][nbsp]
PS, I'm not a pro.

Try this:

Crate an html file like the one below and place it wherever it is you are sending your visitors to.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>MyDomain In Action</title>
<META HTTP-EQUIV=&quot;Refresh&quot;
[nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp] Content[nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp] = &quot;0;
[nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp] URL=http://www.Mydomain.com/Wherever/I/Need/Them/Redirected/To/&quot;>
</head>
<BODY>
<CENTER>
<a href=&quot;http://www.Mydomain.com/Wherever/I/Need/Them/Redirected/To/&quot;>Continue...</a>
</center>
</body>
</html>

This will force compatable browsers to be redirected to the specified URL in 0 seconds (change the number 0 to change the amount of time it takes).

I recommend the file also contain a static link to the new site just to be safe with browsers that may not like the REFRESH tag.
