Here is what I want to do: A user fills in a form with the path to the .doc file on their PC, then clicks upload. The file is uploaded to a some folder, and the path to the file is stored in the mysql db. Is there a way to do this? An example with a fictitious DB would be great. Thanks.

PS. Is there a way to convert a .doc file to HTML where it will retain all of its properties? (Like italics, bolding, underlines etc.)

Many thanks!:thumbsup:

welcome here!

it's very well possible, but you'll need to tell us what server side language you would be using (ASP, PHP, JSP, ...). Actually, you'd better post your question(s) in the forum for the server side language. How to upload a file has been described here plenty of times (search the forum for quick results) and inserting the url in the db is just a plain insert.
converting a doc to html --> run a search on google.
