Hi Michael,

You are recommending the following for storing large files in MOSS: "you can store large files on shares and link to these files using SharePoint"

Thanks

Is there any easy way to migrate thousands of files from my file server to Windows Share Point Services?

Note: I would't like to migrate manually.

i have issues with spp 2003 when linking cells in two excel files both on sharepoint, especially using "import external data" -> "new database query" menu. it does not support the links as it starts with http: and you don't want to make "new web querry" as it is not a web page but excel document.

any comments?
