Use <input type="file"> to allow a user to browse for a file.



They submit the form to the server. Use a component (eg ASPUpload) to grab

the file from the Request collections. Alternatively, you can roll your own

using plain ASP code. Save the file to the server's hard disk temporarily.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Upload+a+file+using+ASP

contains a wealth of links that will tell you how to do this.



Use an SMTP component (like CDONTS) to create/send a new email - and attach

the file that you just saved.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Send+an+email+using+CDONTS+and+ASP

contains lots of links to do this second part.
