I was asked: Is it possible to put a link in a Document Library? Having links in a separate list was not what they were looking for.

A suggestion -- create an HTML document with a single line:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=somelink" />

Now, if you read the HTML specification from the W3C, you will note that this practice is discouraged. But it works in IE, and I can't think of an easier solution. 

Please post responses/solutions as a comment on my weblog.

Note that you can also upload a link ".eml" to a document library and that will also open directly to the destination without the "redirect".

HTML files with redirects is how I have done them. It is quick and easy to use.

A technique that someone has used was to allow .url files to be uploaded into SharePoint. Then you just create an internet shortcut and upload it. Yes, there are security implications, but if you're using it only for intranet links I don't see this as a bad option.

hi

Thanks for your post on that...!

Im really struck with a problem on WSS and I need your suggestion on this.

I have a document list (shared Documents) maintained in sharepoint services.
My prblm is, I need to read the document (Word doc) before it gets uploaded
and get some values of the keywords that are present inside the document.

To be more clear.. the document may contain, a paragraph something like..
-----------------------
EmpNo: 10
EmpName: Packiyanath.S.K.
--------------------------

I need to read the document.. check for the keywords EmpNo: and EmpName and
get the corresponding values and do something else with those values. This h
as to be done when document is added. Catching the event "When doc is upload
ed", I beleive can be done using doc list even handler..But the other one..?

Pls suggest me some solution on this ?

Thanks In Advance.

Regards
Packiyanath.S.K.
