Ok, in the links.cgf, their is a part which allows you to add extra characters to allow in file names, ytou must add an "." even though it tell you not to. Try this and then tell us the results

Thank you very, very, very, very much!!!!!!
It works now!
But note: I've changed the illegal characters from "-" to "." and it dosn't works. with setting to ".-" it works now.

I've already worked 2 weeks on getting links to run. cause my biggest problem was the different path of my domain and the original path of my cgi-bin.
domain is: www.ford-network.at
and the working cgi-bin path is: /home/pages/ford-network.at/cgi-bin

OK! Thanks again. And very nice greetings from austria!

------------------

correct, you need to add ALL characters that you need to the variable.
