asp_web_howto thread: Re: 800a01c9

I ran into this error using ASPSmartUpload while copying and pasting text 

from a Word document.  Its appearance depended on the text and whether it 

came from Word or Notepad.  I suspected some funky character was throwing 

off the collection count, but they weren't visible even with paragraph 

marks visible.  I found this suggestion at: 

http://www.fogcreek.com/FogBUGZ/kb.html , which seems likely:  



"You are probably using MSIE 5.0 and you pasted a curly quote or an 

ellipse or some other funky Word character into the bug.  Strange as it 

sounds, this is because MSIE 5.0 does not post form data correctly when 

the form type is "multipart/form-data".  The simple solution is to either 

upgrade to IE 5.5 or take out the funny characters from the bug you are 

submitting."  



I tried the problem text using Netscape 4 and things worked fine.  My IE 

version is listed as 5.00 (but I think I may have seen something about it 

listing the wrong value).
