I've got about 100 pages in my web. Is there a way to change a url link on each page without going through every page individually? Thanks.
 
Use FrontPage's shared borders (Format>Shared Borders). You put your link in the border, update it on any page, and the link is changed across the web site. You can set up for left, right, top, or bottom, but if you use right, check it in Netscape to make sure it works right. Otherwise, there isn't any other way to change the link besides going through and manually doing it.

you could run a search (find) through all the pages. and lets say your link is , you search for that, you should type the new link and copy it into memory so you can just paste it...
so when you search for the bad link, on everypage the bad link will show highlighted, all you have to do it click on the top of the frontpage window (to deselect the find window) and press control v (to paste the new url in place of the old url)
 
Do you have fp2k? You can use Find and Replace in html view on all pages.

Insert your old link in Find and your new link in replace. tick html and all pages click find.. frontpage will do the work a list will appear with all the pages double click the first one it will highlight the link in html view you click replace or replace all (for that page) it will then bring up a box which will be ticked asking you to should it save and move to the next document with the next link.. say yes.. and then fp moves through each page that has been found.. and you do what I said above on each page.. till your finished. The box will the appear with the list again .. this time all will be marked in yellow as edited.. any you missed will be in red.

click cancel to finish.

recalculate your hyperlinks (Tools | Recalculate hyperlinks) - as always after an edit and your ready to publish again.

If you do not have fp2k.. you might want to get a freeware app called xenu that will do this job for you.
