On my Web Servers, I don't want to allow visitors to upload executables.
There are many types of files that i want to ignore (for instance: exe,dll,
bat, cmd .etc). I have an ASPX page with an HTMLInputFile control which
uploads the files. Is it possible to set a filter when the user clicks the
Browse button so that the
file selection dialog only displays valid formats specified.

thankx in advance

Try using the Accept property of the HtmlInputFile control. I have never
used it, but it sounds like what you are looking for. You can probably find
the details in the Help files. Good Luck!
