Hi i've got a question and i can't find the answer to it anywhere. I have created a database where users can enter records via the web. now, however, i want to add the functionality for the user to add

an attachment to the database. The attachments could be any kind of file at all including pdf’s of schematics, other emails etc. When someone wants to add an attachment to the database, they will have to select the file on their machine via a browse window or something and it will be physically copied to the server. The idea would be to have a link appear for each uploaded attachment that the user can click on to download or open the file when viewing the record later, anybody have any ideas how to do this in asp?

i can't find any help anywhere! thanks a million!

Dear treasacrowe
 For this you should use the object which wil upload the file from user and then store on the server

<%
Set Upload = Server.CreateObject("Persits.Upload")
Set File = Upload.Files("FILE1")
Filename = file.Filename

        ' check if file exists in c:\upload under this name
        If Upload.FileExists("c:\upload\" & filename ) Then
            Response.Write "File with this name already exists."
        Else
            ' otherwise save file
            File.SaveAs "c:\upload\" & File.Filename
%>

This will store the file on your server and the path and the name of the file can get by
<% File.Path %> property

Is that built in to standard ASP?
I couldn't find it in any of my 3 bible-thick books about ASP

where do you read more about this object?
didn't find anything in www.MSND.com either ...

No its an component that you can get from various sites. There is other upload componets that you can download to.. Do a search for ASP uploads.
