Leslie, it is possible/likely (???) that functionality you desire will be built right into core for Drupal 7. See this article:<br><br><a href="http://www.advomatic.com/blogs/aaron-winborn/stream-wrappers-and-you">http://www.advomatic.com/blogs/aaron-winborn/stream-wrappers-and-you</a><br>
<br>Possibilities that might help you now with Drupal 6, I stress maybe...<br><br><a href="http://drupal.org/project/media_mover">http://drupal.org/project/media_mover</a><br><a href="http://drupal.org/project/media">http://drupal.org/project/media</a><br>

<div>Good morning, everyone,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>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&#39;d like to link to (this is for our employee intranet site, not an external site) rather than having to upload each one.</div>

<div> </div>
<div>Thanks in advance,</div>
<div> </div>
