I have a form that a user can browse and upload a file (excel) to the server. Once the the file is uploaded, the user hits a button that transfer the data into access.

My problem is .. The upload form currently displays the "transfer" button on startup. I would like for this to be displayed after the file has been uploaded.

Any Ideas? Thanks!

This is the upload sub...
Code: 
      Sub Upload_Click(Sender as Object, e as EventArgs)

         ' Display properties of the uploaded file

         FileName.InnerHtml = MyFile.PostedFile.FileName
         FileContent.InnerHtml = MyFile.PostedFile.ContentType 
         FileSize.InnerHtml = MyFile.PostedFile.ContentLength
         UploadDetails.visible = True
' Let us recover only the file name from its fully qualified path at client 

        Dim strFileName as string
        strFileName = MyFile.PostedFile.FileName
        Dim c as string = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(strFileName) ' only the attched file name not its path

                 ' Let us Save uploaded file to server at C:\ServerFolder\


                 Try 

            MyFile.PostedFile.SaveAs("C:\ServerFolder\" + c)
                        Span1.InnerHtml = "Your File Uploaded Sucessfully as:  C:\ServerFolder\" & c
               Span3.InnerHtml = "Thank you! Click TRANSFER to import to access."

                catch Exp as exception
                  span1.InnerHtml = "An Error occured. Please check the attached  file"
                        UploadDetails.visible = false
                            span2.visible=false
               span3.visible=false
                End Try
 
      End Sub
This is where the button currently resides...
Code: 
  <Body>

         <Font Color="DarkGreen" Face=Helvetica Size=5> <B>Upload
         </Font>
          <HR Size="2" Color=Black >
          <P>   
          <Form Method="Post"  EncType="Multipart/Form-Data" RunAt="Server">
         Choose Your File  To Upload : <BR>
         <Input ID="MyFile" Type="File" RunAt="Server" Size="40"> <BR>
         <BR>
         <Input Type="Submit" Value="Upload" OnServerclick="Upload_Click" RunAt="Server">
         <Div ID="UploadDetails" Visible="False" RunAt="Server">
            File Name: <Span ID="FileName" RunAt="Server"/> <BR>
            File Content: <Span ID="FileContent" RunAt="Server"/> 

           <BR>
            File Size: <Span ID="FileSize" RunAt="Server"/>bytes
           <BR></Div>
           <Span ID="Span1" Style="Color:Red" RunAt="Server"/>
           <Span ID="Span2" Style="Color:Red" RunAt="Server"/>
        <br><br><Span ID="Span3" Style="Color:Blue" RunAt="Server"/>
         [COLOR=red]<Input Type="submit" Value="Transfer" OnServerclick="Signout_Click" RunAt="Server">[/color red]
      </Form>
   </Body>

Set it's Visible property to False to start with and then to True when it is needed.

Oh, and either give it an ID or use a server Button control rather than a HTML input control.

Ok...

I've added the code below to retrieve the hidden button.

Code: 
MyFile.PostedFile.SaveAs("\\sars6\sabine$\aspx\ip21\sabine\" + c)

Span1.InnerHtml = "Your File Uploaded Sucessfully as:  ip21\sabine\" & c
Span3.InnerHtml = "Thank you! Click TRANSFER to import to access."
[COLOR=red]BtnTransfer.visible=true[/color]

This section hides the button

Code: 
<asp:Button id="BtnTransfer" text="Transfer" OnServerclick="Signout_Click" visible="False" runat="server" />

Now my "Transfer" button is not retrieving my Signout_Click Sub.

Code: 
Sub Signout_Click(Sender as Object, e as EventArgs) 

FormsAuthentication.SignOut()
Response.Write("<script>window.open('[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.mypage.com/aspx/signout.asp','null','height=500,width=500,status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no','_top');<"[/URL] & chr(47) & "script>") 
End Sub

Thanks for helping!

Looks like when I took out "asp" in
Code: 
<asp:Button id="BtnTransfer" text="Transfer" OnServerclick="Signout_Click" visible="False" runat="server" />

New to .NET as you probably can tell... but
Any ideas why?

Everything else seems to work fine now.. THANKS!
