Am making a web site for a friend. We want to enable visitors to attach a Word document (via a Browse button) to a web page so that the path to this page is visible;

then send the attached doc (via email if necessary) to my friends email account.

Hope this makes sense.

An example of what I want can be seen at gojobsite.co.uk, but you will have to register with them to see it!

By the way, I am building the site with ASP VB script...

Do you want to make a form with a browse button and then if the user attaches a doc send the doc and the rest of the form elements.

I believe this is what you want, let me know

In order to do that, you'll have to upload the file. Usually this is problematic unless you use a third-party component to upload the file.

I haven't tried this component, but I have heard good things about it, and it's FREE:

Click on "downloads" and look for "Dundas Upload". :)

aspUpload is an excellent component as well.

If you want to try your hand at it, there is an excellent article
at www.asptoday.com that shows the code for doing uploads,
100% asp code, and it works very well.
