Forms Question

I want to add a section on a form that the customer could "Browse" to a file
on their computer and attach it to the form being submitted. Example :
They fill out the form and then hit the browse button to find a "floor Plan"
on their computer. It attaches and sends it all to me.

thanks

FP has a form upload component, if allowed to be used by your web host, however it can only upload
the file to a folder within your web site.

You should check with your web host to see what they have available or are willing to install,
however the process of sending it in an email, requires the file to be upload to a folder within
your web site, then attached to an email to you, This requires server-side script, which is
depending on the server the site is hosted on and what is supported.

The best way to have someone send you a file, is to have them attach it to an email or ask your host
about a FTP server account to allow for uploads.
