Making links to word documents (.doc)

[tech_E]

We are creating webpages on a local host system. We are having problem
specifying the directory of the microsoft word document we are trying to create
a link to. When the user clicks the link, we want the document to be displayed
in the web browswer. Here is the tag and directory we are using :
<a href="C:\test.doc"> Click here to view document</a>

what is wrong with this?

It's linking to my C drive. Not the file. You need to specifically point to
the box that the file is on...typically it's network alias name on your
network.
