Ok. I am being forced to work on a website I have inherited in the last two weeks that uses DNN. (Web developer unreachable, and has generally been unhelpful for persons maintaining site.)

Here is the dilema, I am not a web person..just system admin so I am being saddled with a linking issue in this DNN site. Basically, an invitation was printed with a reservation link of www.redcrosswnc.org/Gala2009. I do not know why they didn't just go into website and copy and paste url for website but they didn't. They want me to make this url work and link to the true page of http://www.redcrosswnc.org/home/AboutUs/Gala2009/tabid/175/Default.aspx.

What I have tried so far is to create a page at root called Gala2009 that links to the true url. The problem is this url is www.redcrosswnc/home/Gala2009 so when typing in url on invitation you get "PAGE NOT FOUND"

(I currently have not hidden this page so you will see it as a link on home page.)

Any ideas or other work arounds would be most appreciated!

Don't know anything about DotNetNuke, but I would try creating a directory, not a file, named 'Gala2009' and put inside it an index file, whatever the default is for DNN (such as 'default.htm'), with a link to the correct URL. If that works then try to automate it. At worst, a meta-refresh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_refresh) tag will work.
