Hi!

I want to display a file as a hyperlink on the page, how's the easiest way 
to do that when there's different locations used?

For example I tried:

Response.Write "<a href='" & _
Server.URLEncode(rst("FileAdr")) & "'>" & Server.HTMLEncode(rst("Title")) 
& "</a>" 

But this would add the base server path first.

I would like to be able to insert http://www.myserver.com/~user/file.zip
in my access database and then get this hyperlink displayed on the page.

Thanks.

If you want to link to another site you need to put:
http://www.theothersite.com/
and the beginning of the URL, otherwise the current server's name will be
prepended to the URL.

<%
strURL = "http://www.microsoft.com/"
%>
<a href="<%=strURL%>">Click Here to go to Microsoft's site</a>

NOTE: you only use Server.URLEncode() on the *values* of parameters passed
via the querystring, not on the whole querystring, or URL ie:

somepage.asp?ID=<%=Server.URLEncode(intID)%>&Name=<%=Server.URLEncode(strNam
e)%>

Use Server.URLPathEncode() to encode paths

Cheers
