Hi everybody.I am looking for instruction on file upload control for an asp page that hooks up to an SQL backend. Is this an easy process, or will I be forced to fork out some cash for this pleasure?
Thanks for any help at all!

Been sifting through the Tutorials pages looking for anything to help out with limited luck. It seems that MS Frontpage has the control that I'm looking for already as a standard control. Why wouldn't Dreamweaver have the same as standard, I wonder?
Anyway, I found some help that looked promising using the following page with the form on it:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<TITLE>Please Upload Your File</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="formresp.asp">
Enter filename to upload: <input type="file" name="f1"><br>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</BODY>
</HTML>
And then using this as the 'working page':
<%@ LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %>
<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>Upload File Results</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Thank you for uploading your file.<br>
<% Set upl = Server.CreateObject("dsrUpload.FileUp"
%>
<% upl.SaveAs "C:\temp\upload.out" %><BR>
Total Bytes Written: <%=upl.TotalBytes%>
</BODY>
</HTML>
But then I get an error when I try to upload:
Thank you for uploading your file.
Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'
Server.CreateObject Failed
/DSRNovomix/formresp.asp, line 7
Invalid ProgID. For additional information specific to this message please visit the Microsoft Online Support site located at: www.microsoft.com/contentredirect.asp.
So I guess this means I need to configure something on my server to accept this type of request? Any thoughts? It's all a bit confusing and would love to have a straightforward answer if anyone has dealt with this type of thing before.
Cheers!
