Upload form content with file attached 1

[blaises]

Hey all

I've got an asp form which enables visitors to submit articles to us. The information entered in the form is directly saved to an sql database. All this works fine. But we want them to be able to also attach additional documents ( word, excel or ppt ) via a file field on the form and to have the document saved to a specific directory.

So in nutshell, once the "submit" button is clicked the form should be able to do the following:

1. save all the form contents excluding the file to the sql database fields ( this is already happening)
2. upload the file (word, excel etc) to a specific directory)
3. possibly also send us a notification email.


Any one out there with ideas on how I can achieve this?

Any pointers in the right direction will be really appreciated.

Cheers.

Pure asp upload script

Note when using the same form for an upload you have to use the uploads object properties, in the case of the above link that would be MyUploader.Form("somefield&quot instead of Request.Form("&quot

Email depends on which component you can use
