Its a bad idea since user might not have file in same location or he might have completely deleted it or he may browsing from other machine that results in invalid functionality. However, the file upload value can be set from javascript. If you really intend to do that, store the path in hidden field and in body onload event set the fileupload value to the hidden field value.
