Template Linking Problems-Dreamweaver 8

I am a Web Designer for a College within a university and I have encountered a
problem with Dreamweaver 8. I created a set of pages with a top navigation of
relative links. There are six links on the top navigation that all have links
that are set to look for the linked file within the current directory.
Basically in the template the link looks like "admission_req.html", there are
no ../../ in front of the address within the template. However, when the pages
are updated through the template the links are changed to point to the template
directory (for example the "admissons_req.html" changes to
"../../../../Templates/admissions_req.html". This did not happen in the
previous versions of Dreamweaver that we have been using for years, as the
links would update without pointing to the template directory.

Is there a way to correct this issue?

It's a long-standing bug that has finally been fixed. You were just
inadvertantly taking advantage of it.

It's a wrong aproach to manually enter your links like this. However, if
you want to take responsibility for maintaining those links rather than
allowing DW to do it, you can by entering your links like this -

<a href="@@('whatever.html')@@"

DW will not manage those links.
