Internet Form - Supplying File Names to be uploaded by form.
Howdy All,
Completing a web form using VB6 is pretty straight forward. Supplying file names (images) that the form needs to upload however is a "different kettle of fish" as one would say. Is it at all possible to supply these file names? If so how would I do this?
Example Popup from web page:

I think you can specify the filters (not sure how, but surely it's possible) ... but I don't think you can specify the name... if you think about it, it makes sense... otherwise, what's stopping me from creating a file tag, with "yourBankInfo.txt" as the file name, making it hidden, and when you then submit the form, the file would go with it... short of it is, that it would allow someone to snag files off of someone's drive w/o them knowing it, a clear security breach. Now... if you need a specific file, set the filter to the correct type, then add a label or something next to the file/upload/select/what ever you called it button that gives the name of the file looking for.

for some applications (particularly screen dumps for vbforums), i put the filepath/name into the clipboard, then can just paste and click enter

yeah, I do that too... but that's human action... I think the OP wanted to specify the filename automatically... from his site so that others don't have to.

Yep. Automatically is the way I want to go. Thank you
