When I do a resync on one of the websites I have created I get an error - "One of your pages links to the following file but it does not exist" and then it shows the name and path to the file. I can explore to that folder and open the file but VSD will not publish it.

I tried renaming the file thinking that it may be a naming convention issue but that did not help.

I tried moving the file to another directory and linking it to that location but that did not help.

When the page is published the link points to the path the path but the file name is not there.

When I ftp to my site the files being linked to have not been uploaded with the publish.

You can see the results at the following url - http://www.hamguyparts.com/equipment.html

When you hover on the top two links (in read) you will see the path and file name but when you hover over the third and fourth link down (LC Meter is the third) you will see that the path is there but no file name.

So, why isn't the VSD including the file name and why is not uploading the file?

HELP!!! I have done quite a few websites with VSD but this one is driving me nuts!!!!

I think your issue there is with the file name of the image. You cannot use spaces or punctuation marks in file names. Both of the image contain invalid characters. Wht I woud suggest is you delete that image from VSD, rename it correctly and then add it back to VSD.

What sort of file is it? If it's a PDF, and the other PDFs are linking OK, I'd put it back in that folder to start.
What happens when you go to Link Properties > Documents and then Browse – can you find the file?
Is the "Create Link" box checked?
Sorry if that's too obvious, just ruling out the easy stuff

I've seen this. I changed my hard drive and brought all my site files back into VSD. I went through the list when re-syncing of all the missing files and re-adding them until all the errors were gone. I just found on one of my pages that a JQuery slide show wouldn't preview locally but showed just fine on the live site. I then went to my add files tool to see if the files were in the directory I put them in and they weren't there. I then browsed to the files and clicked add and it wouldn't add the files. I then went to the remove files tool and found the images being referenced. I deleted those files then went back to the add files tool and now it would add them. This wasn't the first time Ive had to do this. So the first thing you want to do is as Scott recommended is remove the files using the remove files tool then re-add them.

OK, I have tried the suggestionss above but to no avail. It is a pdf file but there are no spaces in the name. The file name that the link is to open is LC100-S.pdf. The weird thing is if I go the the published page on the website and look at the coding it is not putting the name of the file in. Here is the coding.

<div class="Object1574"><span class="textstyle4">Digital LC meter LC-100S</span><span class="textstyle6"> - Operates from an external 5v DC source or simply any
USB connection. Accuracy +/- 1%, .01 pF to 10 uf, .001 uh to 100 mh. </span><span class="textstyle9"><a target="_blank" href="files/Download/">Click here
for details</a></span><span class="textstyle6"><a target="_blank" href="files/Download/">.<br>
</a></span></div>

Down near the end where it says href="files/Download/" it should have the name of the file after the "files/Download/" ie "files/Download/LC100-S.pdf" but it does not. I tried creating another link to the file in a new box but it did the same thing.

Is there a way that I can open up the html file at that spot and manually type it in?

I forgot to mention that if I ftp to the website the LC100-S.pdf file is in the /files/Download folder where all the other pdf files are that I link to.

Why the first two pdf files that I link to on this page have the full path and name and the last two do not is a real mystery.

The issue you are have here was a bug that was introduced in a very early version of VSD. We quickly fixed the problem, but unfortunately there is no way to fix a website when you see this particular problem. The only fix is to rebuild the site.

There is however an easy work around to this. What you need to do is manually upload the files to your server then link to them using the http option instead of the link to document option. You will just need to ensure that you include the full URL and that the files are uploaded to the proper location on the server.

I am sorry you had that issue Laird.
