Leslie, it is possible/likely (???) that functionality you desire will be built right into core for Drupal 7. See this article:
http://www.advomatic.com/blogs/aaron-winborn/stream-wrappers-and-you
Possibilities that might help you now with Drupal 6, I stress maybe...
http://drupal.org/project/media_mover http://drupal.org/project/media http://drupal.org/project/filefield
Also, it is possible there already is an easy way to do this that is handled by a particular module I don't know about. Do let us know if you find something else that isn't mentioned here.

Good morning, everyone,
Is there a way to force Drupal to link to a document on our network file system, without actually uploading it into the Drupal database? We have hundreds of documents that we'd like to link to (this is for our employee intranet site, not an external site) rather than having to upload each one.
Thanks in advance,
Leslie
