    Datagrid broken link

    I have a datagrid control that has one column displaying a filename.
    When the link is clicked it opens the file. How do I open a file that
    resides on a remote server? The code below does not work. When I
    click the link I get error #404 Page Not Found. PLEASE HELP!

    'start of example code. The FullName = "\\SalesServer\ Quotes
    \123456\<file name>"
    <asp:DataGrid runat="server" id="dgQuote" Font-Names="Verdana"
    AutoGenerateCol umns="False" AlternatingItem Style-
    BackColor="#eee eee"
    HeaderStyle-BackColor="Navy " HeaderStyle-ForeColor="Whit e"
    HeaderStyle-Font-Size="15pt" HeaderStyle-Font-Bold="True"
    AllowPaging="Tr ue" AllowSorting="T rue" Font-Size="Small"
    CellPadding="2" >
    <Columns>
    <asp:HyperLinkC olumn DataNavigateUrl Field="FullName "
    DataTextField=" Name"
    HeaderText="Fil e Name" />
    </Columns>

      I should have said "How do I open a file that resides on a DIFFERENT
      server" meaning the server is on site; NOT a remote server which
      implies off site.

          You need to convert the file name into something that the browser can
          resolve. That could mean converting the UNC path to a URL, or having
          a page in your site that does nothing but fetch and pass on files from
          a specified location.
