Spaces in filenames causing problem

FileInfo[] FileList1 = Dir.GetFiles("*.doc", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
foreach (FileInfo FI in FileList1)
{
    Response.Write(
        "<td><a href= view5.aspx?file=" + strheadlinesid + "\\" + 
        FI.Name + " target=_self;> " +FI.Name + "</a></td>");
}

Try using Quotation Marks!

FileInfo[] FileList1 = Dir.GetFiles("*.doc", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
foreach (FileInfo FI in FileList1)
{
    Response.Write(
        "<td><a href=\"view5.aspx?file=" + strheadlinesid + "\\" + 
        FI.Name + "\" target=\"_self\"> " +FI.Name + "</a></td>");
}

URL encoding ensures that all browsers will correctly transmit text in URL strings. Characters such as a question mark (?), ampersand (&), slash mark (/), and spaces might be truncated or corrupted by some browsers. As a result, these characters must be encoded in tags or in query strings where the strings can be re-sent by a browser in a request string.

fileName = HttpServerUtility.UrlEncode(fileName);
