Linking to a non DNN page

Hi
My client has sent me an html page he wishes to use as a temporary holding page, until a new web site can be designed.
The page is called 'Index.htm'.
I am trying to make this the new 'Home' page.
I tried editing the source code - so that wherever it said 'Default.aspx?tabid=1' instead it said 'Index.htm'.
None of that made any difference.
So how do I tell DNN that Index.htm is my new home page?

Not sure if DNN can reference an HTML page but could you not add an HMTL module to the home.aspx page (or on a custom splash page) and insert your client's HTML code in to that?

Re: Linking to a non DNN page

rename index.htm to app_offline.html and place it in the root of your DNN installation (where web.config resides), this will stop DNN to respond and display this page instead.
