HELP with FILE type in forms !

Hey, I need to write a form that allows me to select a file from the harddrive and then send to an asp file not the file itself but only its name so that I can store it in a Database. Any help ?!?!? THANKS !!!!

I don't know much ASP. My notes: use upload forms use [u]enctype="multipart/form-data"</u>. U need just file-name ( browsed by user ), so don't apply upload fucntion ( in ASP code ), just fetch POST data of filename of input type file. So, file'll not b uploaded. I hope, this is sufficient.

I don't think you need to add the enctype attribute, you just need to add an input of type file and check for it's content on your target page. e.g.

Code:

<form name="myForm" method="post">
<input name="myFile" type="file" /><input type="submit" />
</form>

...

fileName = Request.Form("myFile")

HTH,
