Turn ListItem into Link

[Gill1978]

Hi,

I'm trying to turn a checkbox listItem into a hyperlink which will open the document when the users clicks it.
Does anyone know how to do this ... i've tried puttin a hyperlink tag around the text but this didn't work.
Here's what I have:

    <asp:CheckBoxList AutoPostBack="true" ID="CheckBoxList1" runat="server"  OnSelectedIndexChanged="Blue" Width="212px" >
        <asp:ListItem Text="Presentation 1" Value="V:/projects/JG/PitchBook/PitchBook/Presentations/Test1.ppt"></asp:ListItem>
        <asp:ListItem Text="Presentation 2" Value="V:/projects/JG/PitchBook/PitchBook/Presentations/Test2.ppt" />
    </asp:CheckBoxList>

Thanks for any help ...

Julie

It's probably better to have a Button that redirects the user to the selected item.

Sorry, for some reason I though you were using a ListBox rather than a CheckBoxList. Ignore my suggestion.
