Thanks! 1. rename my_application.htm to index.htm 2. make sure index.htm is in the DirectoryIndex configuration option of your web server. If my_application.htm is just html code in a file, you can rename it to index.htm, and it probably will already be listed in DirectoryIndex. If it is php code, you should serously consider using a .php or .php3 extension. Be proud to use PHP, and let the world know!!! See the Apache web server documentation for info on how to setup DirectoryIndex, and where to find it. Rick Widmer Internet Marketing Specialists www.developersdesk.com
