Trying to create hyperlinks

I am writing some code for an intranet and I need to be able to list the
files in folders and subfolders and display them in the browser window as
with hyperlinks.

I've picked up this very useful code on the internet from
www.4guysfromrolla.com. It works a treat, but one problem! If there is a
filename that contains a space, e.g., "my file.doc" the hyperlink only
links up to the space, e.g., it will hyperlink "my" and nothing else.

Here is the code which picks up file names without spaces and is called from
an HTML file as follows (maxitek being the name of my computer)
<a href="dir.asp?P P=C:\Inetpub\ww wroot\&UU=//maxitek">dir.as p</a>

Sub Main()
Dim sPP, sUP, fso, f, fc, ff, fl
sPP = Request.QuerySt ring("PP") 'Physical Path
sUP = Request.QuerySt ring("UP") 'URL Path

Set fso = CreateObject("S cripting.FileSy stemObject")
Set f = fso.GetFolder(s PP)
Set fc = f.Files
Set ff = f.SubFolders
For Each fl in fc
Response.Write "<a href=" & sUP & fl.name & ">" & fl.name & "</a> <br>"
Next
Set ff = nothing
Set fso = nothing
Set f = nothing
Set fc = nothing
End Sub

Main()
%>

Make sure the href val is quoted. I like to use single quotes in this case:

Response.Write "<a href='" & sUP & fl.name & "'>" & fl.name & "</a> <br>"

Hi Experts I have a working c# application that users can store files (.doc, .xls, ..bmp, etc) as binary data into an Access database. I now need to extend this to also store hyperlinks. First of all I need some way of searching for the hyperlink. In Access there is an Insert Hyperlink dialog that can be used. Is there a similar dialog in c#? At the moment I use the OpenFileDialog to select files to be stored, could this be modified?
