form file object problem

Wondering if anyone can help. Trying to create a user admin where users can update ther details by reading in there current name address etc into form file fields-this works ok. However when i try and read a value into the form object file it doesnt dislay the value on the page.

<input name="PDFLink" type="file" value="<% = rs("PDF_LINK") %>">

Does anyone know how to do this.

Thanks for any help.

Ok Thanks, I thought that would be the case but just thought I would check to see if there is any way of by passing it. The reason I want to do it is because the app is on an Intranet. So security in that respect isnt a problem. the reason i wanted to populate the field was so if the users are updating other details and see that field blank, wont be tempted to browse to the file again etc. Also the field doesn't upload a file- just grab the link.
