I have developed a way of loading files from MS Word 2000 with one click directly into a CF website. For more info see http://www.flymicro.com/cf/directload If you know about VBA, or perhaps know someone (or somewhere) who could help me then please read further. Otherwise delete! DirectLoad works excellently with the body text, but I am having trouble with associated images. My problem is a VBA one, not CF, and involves reading whole binary files (eg .jpg or .gif) into a variable which can then be serialized and sent to the server. As far as I can see, (my documentation is not very enlightening in this area) this is supposed to be the VBA code, but it doesn't work.... Dim imgbinary 'open the file Open "C:\mydocs\img1.jpg" For Binary As #1 'read the file into the var imgbinary Get #1, , imgbinary 'load the var into the structure mystruct I created earlier, 'mystruct contains all the data which is serialized & 'sent to the server so it works OK in principle mystruct.setprop "theimgfile", imgbinary 'tidy up Close #1 The error is on the Get.. line: 458, "Variable uses an automation type not available in visual basic" Anyone any ideas?? -- Regards; Richard Meredith-Hardy ------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
