How to find what pages lin to a specific page

I'm hoping this is an easy question... but I just can't think of a way to
search for the information using my Dreamweaver Help. It keeps bringing up
other information. I have a page. I want to know what other pages link to it.
I'm sure there's a simple way to do it, but I"m not seeing it. I'm using
Dreamweaver MX. Thanks so much!

well, a quick way is (if you're in a properly defined site) to highlight the
page in the files panel and hit your delete key - if you get a popup asking
if you're sure to delete, then you don't have any pages linked to it. If you
get a popup saying "hey, are you sure you want to delete this page because
all these other pages link to it..." you'll have a list of the pages that
link to that particular page.

However, I'd suggest, instead of "threatening" to delete the file, that you
instead "threaten" to change the name of the file, which will do the same
thing. Seems a little safer.

you can also use the Yahoo Site Explorer to find links to and from a
page, but it has to be on the web. and it obviously wouldn't tell you if
any pages are linked to it that you haven't uploaded yet.

https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com

just put in the url to the page.

very true, Patty! That is a much safer way to do it!

Safety first! :-D I've been doing it that way for a long time and it
seems to work well.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I tried "pretending" to delete the file.
A message does come up saying other pages are linked to this page... but it
does NOT tell me what pags. I really am deleting the page... so I want to be
sure I change all the links to it before I delete it.
