2 ways:
1. You could create a separate page to link-to.
2. Or, you could use HTML (I just implemented this for you): On the "from" page, you put an HTML anchor tag:
<a href=' Writing sessions</a>
And on the "to" page, you put an HTML name tag at the desired location:
<a name=part2</a>
In the above link, notice that we're going to "other page" number 30, yet it's correct to put a "29" in the above link. This is needed because, internally, pages are numbered using base 0 (each page number is one less).
Update DEP Map / H / 7/24/03 / Blake / Close / 7/25/03 / Updated DEP Map to included PMI Member ID field.
"Resend passwords" feature / M / 7/24/03 / Blake / Close / 8/8/03 / DLC is putting this function in the Officers Area. PMI-MN wants it in Back Office. Technology issue with DLC.
DLC recommendation: setup a second area like "officers only" but called something else. It could have a separate list of username and passwords.
Or, we could enhance the Officer Only area by defining *which* officers have *what* privileges.
At your next meeting, define who might need to access what, and I'll propose a system to handle it.
