Hello,

I want to do something like the following:

Whenever a user post a new piece of information to the intranet or a network directory, the link will be automatically update to the "What's New" under the main webpage.

The current practiseis kind of manual by typing the link under the "What's New".

Can anyone advise how to do it?

Thank in advance.

Rachael

If the server is IIS you can make the main page an Active Server Page. You can use the FileSystem object to get all of the files in a particular folder. The DataCreated property can then be checked to determine if the file is recent, if it is a link can be created using script. Similar techniques should work for JSP and CGI.
