That worked, thanks!

It works if I type in http://intergate.ca/personal/name

Can I make it so it will also work when typing in:

http://intergate.ca/personal/name/index.htm

If I type in the later, I get:

http://www.newpage.com/index.htmlindex.htm

So it's adding the index.htm.

If it's too complicating, I'll just leave it as is.

Thanks again,

JB
