Hello Everyone,

I am creating a form and I need to include the functionality to allow the 
user to attach a document to the form.  Then when the user submits the 
form... the attachment is included in the email.  Any help or pointers 
would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Check out the Dundas Mailer and Dundas Upload components at
www.dundas.com

This will let the user select a file from their PC and send it as an
attachment to an e-mail.

Jeff,
ASPemail has a option to add an attachment:
Mail.AddAttachment "c:\images\cakes.gif"

What I would do is have a button that opens a new window that lets the
user browse for a file, upload it, once the file is on the local server
pass the variable to ASPemail like this:

Mail.Addattachment "f:\path_to_file\" & filename


ASPemail is a free ASP component available at www.aspemail.com (it has
code samples too)

Thanks Scott,

But wouldn't that allow someone to upload a document with a virus?

Thanks again for the help!

Jeff

OH I forgot...make the script delete the file after its done sending :)
If the file isn't run (turn off exec rights on the temp dir) viruses
shouldn't be a problem on the server...the person you have to worry
about is the recipient...but what's stopping someone from attaching a
virus laden file and e-mailing it to someone anyway?
