Pat,
I tried going back and changing the name of Osborn to Osborne on my
harddrive, then going back in and uploading it and it went right into my old
Osborne page, so it works that way. Now I have a file as Osborn that won't
be used because nothing refers to it, it's as if I put a picture in the file
that I'm not using.
Now, my problem is that it shows ...osborne/osborne, etc etc. I had the
same problem with my Hooker family. You told me to:

Go to File Manager and use the Rename Function in the File Controls to
"move" the file. Open the hooker subdirectory and click the little radio
button to the left of the hooker.htm. Scroll down to File Controls and
click rename. In the box, type ../hooker.htm. That's dot-dot-slash
hooker.htm. That will "move" the file up one directory level. Once you
have moved the file, you can delete the hooker subdirectory. Repeat for the
other file (which was roberthookersrfamily).
Now, I never did do that but if I do it for my Osborne's, I have now 4
families that have pages, pg2, pg3 & so forth and also graphics, do I need
to move the graphics up like that also???

Thank you so much for your help.

Linda
