I have searched for a method to create a form that allows the user to attach
JPG files from their computer and send the whole thing as an email to me. I
found a few scripts that you have to pay for, but surely there is a way to do
it myself. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi, Gavin,

You have to do this in 2 steps
1/ Upload the file from client to your server
2/ Send the email with file attached then (probably) delete the uploaded
file

If you have asp on your server this would be easy enough to do

Jon,

Thanks for the reply. I am fairly confident that my host supports asp, but
I am an extreme newby and don't think I could figure out how to setup what
you suggest without some help. Any online tutorials you know about to step
me through it?

you can use the "file upload" component in Frntpage 2002 onwards - provided your
host allows uploading files through a web-form. I think it will work if you
point the FP form (using the frontpage form handler) to your email as well.

Andrew,

Another great idea. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me (asked me for my
user id and password) and only sent a link to the file that I sent (I want to
get them as attachments to the email). Thanks for the idea though. I did
not know about the file upload component.

Regards,
Gavin

Not possible using the FP Form Handler.
