Thanks Paul

At present, i won't be able to change the links as they are created automatically by the cms package i am using. I will have to contact the developer of same.

If they are able to modify the CMS package so i can edit links, i am then a bit confused about the 301 reference.

Do i input it into the htaccess file like below under the appropriate Rewriterule?

RewriteRule ^bicycles\.html$ index.php?page=new&cid=999 [L]
Redirect 301 /index.php?page=new&cid=999 /bicycles.html

Thanks again for you response,
S
