Nancy,
Thanks for the heads up. I only tried it with a windows application so I found the "link file" option right away. I would have been scratching my head with my next web app if you hadn't posted this message.

Sincerely,
Einar

But, what it doesn't mention is that the Link File options isn't available for every type of solution. I had a web application open when I tried it the first time. When I opened a windows application, lo', there was the third option.
