First, that depends on which webserver. Some (probably most) are case sensitive, but some are not... :>)
 
Also, if you edit a page name for case, then you also have to edit any and all links to that page. That could be a *lot* of work. Fortunately, most of Legacy's pages are numbered instead of named, so that doesn't arrise. BUT if you change the Index.htm to index.htm (which is, I agree, what it should be), every one of those numbered pages has a link to Index.htm that has to be edited... (999 of them on my current database>pedigree web pages)...

Subject: [LegacyUG] Re:Web pages

File names on web servers are case sensitive.

The Legacy web page creation does a great job, except that
it names the file called index.htm with an upper case I, or Index.htm

This is a problem when linking to it from other locations, because the
convention is to have the whole file name lower case.

Can this be changed within Legacy, or do I have to keep on editing the
file names after creation?

Thanks,
Bob
