I was just placed on a dnn project and am trying to get used to the environment. One problem I am running into while going through the code is that if I try to find the page I am currently on in the browser say for instance: http://localhost/dotnetnuke/football.aspx, I can't seem to find the file football.aspx anywhere in my code and I even did a search on my local machine for football.aspx and it returned no results. Where could this file be?

There is no actual .aspx page named football.aspx. There is only one actual page, default.aspx. DotNetNuke builds virtual pages on the fly using the site's skin as a visual/layout template and pulling all other content (such as text in an HTML module) from the database and injecting that content into default.aspx. Thanks to human friendly URL rewriting, "pages" such as football.aspx which appear in the browser address bar are actually referred to by tabid. For example, the actual url for your Football.aspx might be http://localhost/dotnetnuke/Default.aspx?tabid=123.

The creation and editing of "page" content is done entirely through the web interfaces provided by DotNetNuke and not by programs such as Expression Web or FrontPage.

Thanks! Also lets say I had a textbox on this football.aspx page and the value in the textbox was wrong because the formula for calculating the value in the textbox is wrong ... what would be the best approach to figure out where the formula for the textbox is in dnn?
