External_Link_File Initialization Variable

See Also

Specifies the location of the file used to list external Web links deemed valid by a VSS user.

Syntax

External_Link_File = file path

Example

Specifies that the Links.txt and Goodlinks.txt files hold the list of validated Web links associated with a VSS Web site project:

External_Link_File = \\VSSserver\links.txt, c:\webproj\goodlinks.txt

Remarks

The links file is a text file list of URLs that are considered valid, even though they have not been validated by VSS. You can specify a comma-delimited list of files to keep several copies of the link list. This can be set using the VSS Administrator Web Sites tab located in Options on the Tools menu.
