File Upload Confirmation

[Guest]

I a trying to use the built in file upload form in FP2002. I have a server with Windows 2000 & FPSE2002.

The form contains 4 fields

1) Titl
2) Descriptio
3) Submitte
4) File (upload

This form is used to allow users to submit documents for review. When I press submit on the form in my test environment, I receive "Front Page extension cannot be run on this page" error.

What I have done is changed the defaul confirmation to an ASP page I have constructed which writes the 4 fields to a database. I have tested the ASP page and it correctly parses a url like "http://myweb/conf.asp?field1=x". The problem seems to be when I tell the UPLOAD form to use this ASP confirmation page it bombs

Any ideas?

You need to use a ASP upload component, as you can not use FP run-time
component with server-side scripts.

Right. ASP is incompatible with most browse-time features
of the FrontPage Server Extensions, including the feature
that saves uploaded files.

To get this working, you'll need to code the whole page in
ASP. The ASP code will need to use an ActiveX control for
picking the uploaded file out of the Request object.

Most hosts provide at least one of such ActiveX control as
part of their basic service (no extra charge). Look around
the host's support pages to see which one they provide,
and where to find documenation.

This is an Intranet server, so I am the host

I have found a couple of examples of ASP pages to use for uploading. I will just have to work my way throught the original developers code to understand what to modify

Thanks,
