Hi! in my app external files need 2 b uploaded using a textbox(no file upload control)so the file name is manually specified..the file is not getting saved

Code:

  string strPath = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AttachmentsPath"].ToString(); strFilePath = strPath + "\\Projects\\" + ViewState["ProjectID"].ToString(); objAttachment.AttachmentName = strFilePath;  objAttachment.FileName = txtExternal.Text;

thats my code there

i need to access files from Share folders ...Alrite...the page is such where i can upload image using an fileupload control n a textbox where i can enter file path say:"\\D01xyz001\New\a.txt" where D01xyz001 is an intranet connection...the path now gets saved in a gridview n i acess it thu a link btn bound to the grid..no pobs in acessing the images as it gets saved in the local folder ..error i get when acessing the external file is Logon Failed:Unknown Username or bad pwd ..i used content:disposition to force open/save the images n i'm using 3 tier architecture so objAttachment is a business object

First you tell the problem is that the file didn't get upload. Now you are talking about Login problems. Could you clarify your problem?
Also you show the upload code (?) but there is no reference to logins anywhere??? How are you managing logins?
