We don't use windows, but I think you shouldn't have a // in front of the relative link.
Is the CD tower on a different machine than the CFserver? CF mapping just makes a relative address into an absolute address on the same machine. Another possbility for you is to place the correct intranet address in a variable, then add dvd-tower to the end of that: <cfoutput>#intranetaddress#/dvd-tower</cfoutput> hth, Chris Norloff ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] date: Tue, 5 Nov 2002 10:18:51 -0600 >I'm new at this, but here's a problem I don't understand. > >I'm working on an intranet site.
