RH 8, merged WebHelp -- Can I link to the same child project more than once in the parent TOC?

I'd like to link to the same merged project more than once in my parent TOC -- should this be possible?

I've attached a screenshot of the parent TOC showing where I'm attempting to reference the "VT" child project in both the "Customer Care" and "Help Desk" folders. When I publish, the VT topics are displayed only in the "Help Desk" folder.

Is there a better method of trying to reference the same project more than once?

I'm using R8, merged WebHelp, with both patches applied.

Thanks.

    Instead of the second TOC reference to VT, create a redirect topic that appears in its place. The topic will be blank and point to the home page for that project.

    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=path/topicname.htm" />

    When the user clicks that topic, they will get redirected to the same page. The path will need to be the relative path in the output.

    I've been trying to make the redirect work but I don't think I'm specifying the correct path.

    I've structured my merged projects into three folders: "generate," "publish," and "source." To which folder should I specify the redirect?

    You need to work out the relative path between the redirect topic and the topic to be displayed as it will be in the output (the generate and publish folders).
