enctype=multipart/form-data does not hold values

[ryandoah]

Hi all,

I am trying to upload files through a webpage using ASP on IIS5/Win2000Svr. When I use the encType="multipart/form-data" in the <form>, like I believe I'm supposed to for file uploading, none of my other form data values carry over to my action page. When I remove the encType, all the variable work fine. I'm going to be using ABCUpload4 to do the actual file load, but have to also collect associated data on the file that is to be uploaded. Some of the other developers here have gotten it to work on another server, but I can't get any straight answers from them(as they are dumb), so I'm assuming it has something to do with an IIS setting. I haven't yet tried to get any deeper into the ABCUpload since I can't get it to do this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
ryandoah

nothing to do with IIS

you can't use any other form collection with a binary read.

do a search of the asp forum333 been covered a few times.

Ok. So how do all these sites do attachment/file upload with associated data?

without any specifics, I would take it that the component DLL extracts the data from the binary stream and passes on to the handling routines. It just can't be done using the ASP form collection.
