An external link is a link from a .HLP file to another .HLP file or from a .INF file to another .INF file.

If you are linking from one internal database to another, use the res= attribute. If you want to allow external databases to link to a window in your file, the window heading must contain the global attribute, and you must use the id= attribute as a window identifier.

Restriction: Linking automatically to an external database is not possible.

For more information about external links, see Display a Help Window from Another Help Library.
