<conclusion>i don't think that you're going to be able to do this as directly as you want. you're going to have to do it in two steps. first you have to upload the file to your server and then send the email using the path to the file you've just uploaded.
for file upload you can either use a component on the server, or use a pure asp upload script. the script works ok if the file you want to upload is smallish. if you're regularly wanting to upload large files look at using a proper component if you can. once the file is on your server you can attach it to the email and send. don't forget to delete the file afterwards! </conclusion> <having realized a mis-understanding of mine concerning the original post from ireland, i need some further info> <iniprob> I don't know how to phrase the code so that it will read in the input box containing the file name from the form.</iniprob> <rephrase> Once the client hits "enter", you expect a CDOSYS script to be activated [which was just priorly downloaded] which interprets the directory path the client has just established during reader reception time. The CDOSYS script then uses this path to access and upload the script. This is the solution you/we/i seek </rephrase> is it possible to keep a script actively running once downloaded, or does it require activation [it would be better - in my immature obinion] to have the script actively running when the client performs this task. is the "directory path" the client establishes accessible on the OS's hard disk being used in the scenario? IOWs, Do you know where this information can be retrieved from on the OS can tou activate the script using mouse motion as detection Questions ____ • The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM • ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.
