Questions from a beg. CF,HTML, Renaming folder/path and
adding main page.
Hello I have inherited this new job and I am trying to
understand it asap. I am a complete beginner to html,CF and web
development overall
 Yes I grabbed some books, but if you can help me. I really
appreciate is.

I have this file structure 
Z:\ToExport\RepDocs\MyReport
Pointing to it

http://myserver/Myreport/
Here you find a MyReport folder 
And find 2 .cfm
1. Index
2. version.cfm
I have 2 BIG questions, ok 3

HOW DO YOU MAKE A PAGE THAT WILL CONTAIN 
The link of this MyReport.
A main page. In other words.

Main page that has a text Main report 
For name of the division_

Then a link called My reports. And Your report
Prefereably sorted

· My reports.
· Your report

HOW DO I CHANGE THE FOLDER 
FROM
Z:\ToExport\RepDocs\MyReport
Pointing to it

http://myserver/Myreport/
TO 
Z:\NewExport\repmining\myreport

Then point to it

http://myserver/ repmining\myreport

WHY IS THE REPDOCS NOT TYPED IN THE BROWSER WHEN VIEWING THE
MYREPORT.( i dont have to type (repdocs)to view the report?)
in other words:

without repdocs.

Please excuse me.
I am a real beginner.

OK, I think I understand your questions, so here goes:

The link of this MyReport.

Simply have a link on a page, ex:
<a href ="LINK URL">LINK TEXT</a>,
As for your question on your reports, I do not understand what you are asking

quote:

FROM
Z:\ToExport\RepDocs\MyReport
Pointing to it
http://myserver/Myreport/
TO
Z:\NewExport\repmining\myreport

Then point to it
http://myserver/ repmining\myreport

If you are directly connected to the server, just create a folder in (from what it looks like) Z:\ToExport\RepDocs\ that is the new folwer name, ex:
Z:\ToExport\RepDocs\NEW_folder and put files into it. If you are now directly connected to the server, use a program like FTP server to connect via FTP and do the same.

this is simply because http://myserver/Myreport/ is set to point at the folder Z:\ToExport\RepDocs\MyReport therefore it looks like http://myserver is set to the folder Z:\ToExport\RepDocs\ anything you add into a folder after that will be included.
