Try this.

Use a file type control that allows you to browse files and pick one from there.

Code:

<input id="myFile" type="file" name="myFile" runat="server" />

And on submit... use this

Code:

attachname = MyFile.PostedFile.FileName
If (attachname <> "") then
    attachname = attachname.substring(attachname.lastindexof("\")+1)
    MyFile.PostedFile.saveAs(Server.MapPath(attachname))
    emailMessage.Attachments.Add(new MailAttachment(Server.MapPath(attachname)))
End if

Hope that helps.
Cheers!
