TFS - add as link menu option - substitute for VSS Share File
Since sharing is not a feature supported by TFS, I have found some sources that suggest using ADD EXISTING ITEM, and then finding the file to share and choosing the "Add As Link" option.
I never get that option, and my button only shows "Add". My "add existing item" dialog box does not match. Is this another setting?

Yes, this is the article I am trying to follow.
I am using VS 2008 v.9.0.30729.1 SP
Framework V. 3.5 SP1
I am still looking for the version of TFS, but since I do not have admistrative rights, I may have to research that more.
It may not be a TFS issue, since I tried to with a local project and I also did not have an "add as link" option.

I realize it is most likely client side, was just asking ut of habit really.
now when you say "I never get that option, and my button only shows "Add". My "add existing item" dialog box does not match" , do you mean that the add existing item is just not there ?
are you selecting a project file or a folder when you try the right click ?
things should look as per screenshot.

I went back to our VS2005 environment under Visual Source Safe source control, and my screen matches your screenshot - I have the "add as link" choice on the "Add" button.
But in the VS2008 under TFS source control, my "Add" button does not give me any choices - it remains a simple "Add" button.

If so , could you elaborate more on which versions of Visual studio & TFS you have.
