Is there a way to add a link to a document library on one SP SITE to a
document on another SP site?

Thanks!

Presuming you mean WSS and not SPS 2003:

you can add to the document library A a field of type Hyperlink/Image and
specify Hyperlink and add the URL of the document in doc lib B in that
field.

Thanks for the reply, Mike. In order to do this, though, you have to create
a blank document as the placeholder. Is this the only way, because it's
rather cumbersome.

Thanks!

Ah, I was assuming that a *document* in doc lib 1 needed to link to a
document in doc lib2.

If all you want is a single link in doc lib1 to a single document in doc
lib2 I can't see any other way than your blank document (except that I
wouldn't perhaps make it blank but something explaining why you are doing
this with a name that puts it first in the list of documents)

There's a Description field for a doc lib of course where you can put the
URL in *text* but it wouldn't hyperlink.
