Author restore db from device in sql2005

Need to restore the db from network location.
After I click restore from device. The select path box is grayed out. I
could not type the network path.
(I know i could restore it in query analyzer by using restore code.)
Any ideas?

Thanks

Did you press the ... button to the right of that text box?

Correct, you can't point/click to a network path, but you can TYPE the
path into the filename field on that same window...

I couldn't type. Is it sort of permission issue?

Thanks

I don't think taht you could type the path and file name into filename box.
Filename box is only for file name like abc.bak. right?!

Great... Now that you've accomplished that, can you explain why this
was easier than just issuing the RESTORE DATABASE command in a query window?
