Upload jpg file from form

W

Wayne-I-M

I am just starting to create a form that will ask for various details. I
need to ask users to upload a graphic (jpg) from their computer to us.

I have googled and read (lots) about this but can’t find a method of doing
this on a frontpage form.

The (very basic) idea would have a browse button on the form so they could
select a jpg file on their machine and (somehow) get it on to my machine. (As
I said very basic idea at the moment).

Not even sure if this is possible with frontpage.

I am using a form on an asp page with the details sent to an access database
(fpdb).

Any suggestions or a link to a webpage giving details would be “reallyâ€
appreciated.

Many thanks

Hi Stefan

I have look at the links you sent me - they seem above my skill level.

I have also looked at
http://www.planetsourcecode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=8525&lngWId=4
which "seems" it may be along the lines I need.

I am thinking about taking a different route. I think I can "just about"
get the browse button to work so they a users can browse to a graphice on
thier machine.
Next
Is there a site you know of that will give details of how I can insert that
file into the mail attachment (in an e mail) and send it to me. I think
this may be a little simpler than my first idea.

The simplest solution is the create a mailto link and have the user attach the file in their email
application.

However, to have a form send the file to you, requires that the file first be uploaded to your web
site, then your ASP script would then send it to you as an attachment.
