Generated hyperlink

[Mudder]

I have a problem with a hyperlink that is generated from an SQL
database field.
It works fine in Win2000 but now that we've upgraded most of the
company to XP it no longer works. We have a parts page that pulls a
picture of the part from the database and a hyper link to a work
instruction file that gets it's name from another field in the
database.

Here is the code </a href="\\servername\vol1\product\work
instructions\controlled/<%FP_FieldURL(fp_rs, "wi-path")%>"
target="_blank">Open Work Instruction</a>

This generates a URL
file://servername/vol1/Product/Work%20Instructions/Controlled/WI%252DACLO%252Edoc

This works fine with IE6 under Win2000, it loads the WI-ACLO.doc file
but not under WinXP. If I manually paste this into the address field
and remove the %252DA and the %252E then it brings up the word document
fine.

Any Ideas on how I can fix this?

Remove all spaces, etc. from all folder and file names. Also try accessing the server via http and
then either import the document into the current open web or create a virtual folder link to the
web.
