Hi Kiran,

Thank you for your post.

Seems you want to add third party web app via a link in team web access. You can try to edit Index.aspx to add a link point to the third party web app. Index.aspx is locate in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010\Application Tier\Web Access\Web

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.

When i opened the index.aspx page in visual studio and made changes in the source to add a hyperlink and saved the file, i get the following error.

Access to the path 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010\Application Tier\Web Access\Web\Index.aspx' is denied

The file is not read-only. Please let me know whether I'm doing something wrong and how to resolve the above error.

Regards,

Kiran

Hi,

Before making any changes please take a copy of that file.

Then make your changes and save the file to desktop.

In windows, copy saved file from your desktop to its original location.

Let us know if this doesn't work.
