Hi All

I am trying to attach a word docs via a web form and then submit it, so the that the recipient receives an email with the attached file

My understanding of ASP is basic and have been surfing the web to understand how this is done but have not been sucessful

I would really appreciate if someone could please provide me with a basic simple script that I can use to make this work as well as easily understand it

Your input and advice will be much appreciated

Thanks

You'll probably need a server component like AspEmail from Persits or something. I've used that and it works pretty good for attachments.

There are two seperate processes here
1. Uploading the file
I have found many code examples on the web and the best I have used can be found at:
http://www.lewismoten.com/CodeLibrary/Browse/ASP/[All]/1.htm
I used the first incarnation.

2. Send an email
A good script is at:

You can modify these to work together to produce the result you want.

Try them and then post any problems on this site.

Of course you can also buy a third party component as DaveGerard suggested however this is not too difficult to accomplish by yourself if you are trying to learn ASP.

Hi

Thanks rodmcleay for your advise and direction, I was successful in tweaking the code to my advantage and also able to upload the word docs and send the email with the attachment

But when I received the email

The word docs wasn't attached to the email, rather inserted onto the page of the email in the form of a long set of numbers and alphabets

Can you or anyone advise me on this?

Thanks

Sorry ns,
Just got your message.
I have not come across this before, try posting this as a different question, In fact I am having some trouble getting it to work myself.
