Store PATH to a file

i'm trying to set up a system where users within a LAN can attach files to customer database. What i need is a form where they can click on the "Browse" button and select a file. The system then stores the PATH (e.g. \\intranetserver\documents\account.xls) in the field, which will later be used as a hyperlink. I've been trying to use the "file" form element in Ultradev but all that does is store some manky .TMP file path without slashes. I don't need it to upload anything, simply store the absolute path to it on the network.

Is there a way to either make the "file" form element store its screen value or maybe create a separate browse function to store it in a normal text box? All i need is to save the users from typing the actual address.

Thanks!
