can you use php or asp? if you don't use any of the above I think you will have a hard time doing it with javascript, if it does it at all

sorry I don't know that much of ASP, but if you can get Sail3005 in here he might be able to help you. he is good with ASP I think. I only do PHP and I am learning that as well.

Hmmmm....it seems that you may already be on the way to answering your own question, but, when i get a complement like scoutt said, i just must say something...

here are some tips:

to have a user browse their harddrive:

<form>
<input type="file">
</form>

Also, to upload files, i think that you may need a component installed on the server to be able to do this...I have heard of one before i think that it is called ASPUpoad. Try and check that out if you need to.

Hope you get your problem solved!



let me know if i can be of more service..

Thanks for the help guys... this case is closed for now!
