FIle Form Element

I am storing the physical path of images, along with 3 more columns,
in a MS-Access DB table. I want to provide users the option to change
this physical image path (as well as the records in the other columns)
for which I am using the *File* Form element.

The column under which the physical paths are stored is the 4th column
in the DB table.

Users first come to a page that displays the distinct records existing
in column1 in the above mentioned DB table in a dropdown select list.
When an option is selected by the user & the Form is posted, the next
page would retrieve the records from the DB table depending upon what
a user selected from the dropdown select list & display them to the
user in textboxes so that they can edit the records.

Any idea how do I make the textbox in the *File* Form field show the
record from Col4 (i.e. the physical path) from the DB table like how
the other 3 textboxes display their respective records?

The same thing happens if a textbox field is replaced with a textarea
Form element. For e.g. using the following code

<textarea name="col2" col=20 rows=10 value="<%= objRS("Col2") %>"></
textarea>

the textarea remains blank!
