Including "file attachments" in the upload form

[Hawaiianicy]

Wow this is great!! Anyway, I have a submission form that sends the results
to a set of emails. That works great, but how do I get an attachment, a
resume, to upload along with the form data that is being sent to the emails,
as an attachment? What it is, an informal job application, that I also want
a resume to be attached to the emailed data from the form.. Does that make
sense? Take a peek www.gorgehost.com/jobappeform and you can see that I have
a copy/paste form that works, but my supervisor wants an attachment sent
instead of the resume being sent in a text box.. Why, I don't know, it looks
the same, but that's what he wants. Please help.. thanx this is great!!

What version of frontpage are you using? If it's 2002 or 2003, add the file
upload field to your form.

However this will only work if your host allows uploading of files to their
server, and this particular component of the FP extensions is enabled on
their server. Check with your server admin, to see if they can enable this.

Having the attachment file field means your client will open Word (or PDF,
or whatever) documents, rather than read the resume in the email that was
placed in a text box; the attachment idea is much neater.

Generally I think it will upload the file(s) to a folder on your server
called "_private". All you do is connect through frontpage and publish the
files down to your machine to a folder where you can then open them in Word
or Acrobat etc.

Use the FP Form Handler and Upload Component will only allow for a file to be uploaded to a folder
on the server (if allowed by the web host), it will never be attached to any email processed by the
FP Form Handler.
