What database are you using?

[GLT]

Im using SQL Server and ASP

Are you wanting to upload the file to the database or upload the file to your server and store the filename in the db?

well i dont really know. I am student on placement and i have been asked for a way for the company to upload files of drawings etc of the equipment they sell so they can be accessed by customers. I have created a form in ASP with a file field which has a browse button on it. I am using this to test at the minute. I have put a small test file in the site file in the root folder and the browse button seems to be stored the URL. That would be fine if i could get it to work. I keep getting a L Bound error.

Thank you, however... in the tutorial it says that you will need a copy of the uploading component and gives a link to this but when i clicked on the link it said 'file not found'.

It sounds like you don't have overwrite permissions.

Try extending the read/write permissions on the file/folder.
