Whats the best way to save .doc files into a database, I know that there is a massive drop in performance but this is for a very low traffic intranet site

I am using classic asp and the database format is Sybase ASE 12.5.4

as an alternative have you thought about uploading the files to a folder on the server and just storing the filename in the database? This is the normal way of acheiving file upload and will still do everything you need.

THere is an extension that does this within a few clicks for you called Pure Asp Upload (i do not get money for promoting extensions from this site by the way)

Here is a link: www.dmxzone.com/go?12064

Thanks but I was trying to avoid doing that as the files have to be saved on a file share elsewhere on the network, anyway I found another solution

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>

<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote>

What was the solution?

perhaps this should help:
