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\"
AutoGenerateColumns="False" AlternatingItemStyle-
BackColor="#eeeeee"
HeaderStyle-BackColor="Navy" HeaderStyle-ForeColor="White"
HeaderStyle-Font-Size="15pt" HeaderStyle-Font-Bold="True"
AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" Font-Size="Small"
CellPadding="2">

DataTextField="Name"
HeaderText="File Name" />




ForeColor="White" Font-Bold="True" />

'end of example code

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.
