Just say NO to using ADOVBS.INC in your ASP pages. It's not the right way to do things. It requires an include file in *every* page that uses any ADO constants. Include files impose overhead -- significant in sites that see a great deal of traffic.

I've been working on a site for users to be able to upload text files of articles and/or GIF or JPG files for inclusion in the site. I dind't want to use a COM-based like SA-FileUp or ASPUpload because of the hassles with the ISP.
