"Browse" to a file on the web

Here’s my situation:

I need to “browse” to a file using a web form (normally done with the upload control) so I can get the full file path to specific file. I’m storing the file path to the file so I can present a link to the file to open the file.

Problem: If I use the file upload control and save the document, the file is attached…I don’t want the attachment. Also, the upload control is read-only so I can’t set the upload control value to “” prior to the save.

So, I’m now looking for other alternatives to “browsing” to a file so I can get the file path or ANY other suggestions to solving this dilemma

Any thoughts are appreciated!
