On my machine, that isn't local, or trusted. It's been tested on Firefox and Internet Explorer on windows. At this time, I still consider this a very low level security threat. -Lucas See http://www.theonlinegamer.com/filetest.html for a sample of this in action.

I believe the filename passed in the byte stream is just the portion you are getting above. - If you look at clsUpload, there is a block of code that looks like this (near line 200, your version may vary from mine):

‘ Parse Filename
lnStartPosition = lnFileNamePosition + 10
lnEndPosition = InstrB(lnStartPosition, lnBytes, CStrB(”"”"))
lsFileName = CStrU(MidB(lnBytes,lnStartPosition,lnEndPosition-lnStartPosition))
loField.FileName = lsFileName

As you can see, the field is being set with everything passed. - If you must have the directory/path information, then you can use a workaround on the page that contains the ‘input type=file’ element. Add some javascript that registers in the onchange event to pickup the name of the file (actual path) and store it in a separate hidden field. Lewie may have some sample code for this, but if not, it’s fairly basic.

It works quite well, but I'm having problems trying to get the fully qualified path name of a file which I am uploading. In your example code: in the file ToDatabase.asp, you have: objRs.Fields("FileName").Value = objUpload.Fields("File1").FileName That works great, but if you have a file called c:\data\myUploads\abcfile.doc the objUpload.Fields("File1").Filename only returns the abcfile.doc part of the string. I can't figure out how to get the full pathname from the Input Type = "File" object. Any ideas? Thanks alot in advance. -Philip Henderson ERM Information Solutions Hi, I have been using your code for the asp upload functionality that I got from the ASP101 website.

In your example code: in the file ToDatabase.asp, you have:
objRs.Fields(”FileName”).Value = objUpload.Fields(”File1″).FileName

That works great, but if you have a file called c:\data\myUploads\abcfile.doc
the objUpload.Fields(”File1″).Filename only returns the abcfile.doc part of the string. I can’t figure out how to get the full pathname from the Input Type = “File” object.

Any ideas?

Thanks alot in advance.

I think there were a few movies for it. I may end up walking in the one down the street and picking up a DVD there. The animated version was pretty long. I think there were a few movies for it.

I saw both movies in the theatres and think Harry Potter is better. - After having seen the animated version of narnia way back, I just felt like some of the magic was missing from this one.
