Simple question about Links webpart

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Hi,

I am using SharePoint Portal Server 2003.

I have included a web park Links that comes with
SharePoint on the page and then I added the links to it. I
named this linked web part as "Product Links". Now I
wanted to create smiliar link web part named "General".
But every time I drag the Links component on the web page,
I get an exact copy of "Product Links" web part which I
already have on the page. Any link webpart I try to
create seems to be linked to "Product Links". If I delete
a link from General then it also disappears from Product
Links.


What am I doing wrong? what I need to do to have two links
web parts each one showing different links.

Thanks

Joe

web parts like this are based on list libraries. If you want to create a
web part that displays different list items, then you need to create another
list to base it on first.

To create a new list: Navigate to the area in which you want to display the
web part. Goto --> Manage Content-->Create-->Links. Here you will set the
properties for this new list (name, etc.). When you're finished, you can
now go to add a new web part and you should see this new link list in the
web party gallery. HTH
