James:
 Yes I knew it was commented out but I searched high and low for that closed parentheses.  Remember with beginners such as I and word wrapping the way it is, these little issue can be confusing.

James it works beutiful I want you to know.  I set the permissions correctly, I got that down.  I am trying to do this though.  Pretty much all that is going to be uploaded are jpegs.  I would like the confirmation page to show the uploaded jpeg.  But for the life of me I just can't get uploadcomplete.asp to show anything but what you have in the original ASP.  I tried to put in a HTML link back to the upload.asp.  Wouldn't show.  I tried to put in <img src="files/<%Request.Item("thefile")%>">.  Nothing.  No error, no mistake written to the browser.  Nothing.  It's as if I didn't put anything at all in uploadcomplete.asp.

Can you explain to me why this is and maybe suggest how I can do what I'd like?  Do you thing the dll we have made is causing the uploadcomplete.asp to show nothing but what we use in the example?  Thanks.

Oh and as a side note did you know that the uploadcomplete.asp is putting a "p" w/o quotes at the end of the ContentType; ex: a jpg uploaded shows:

Content Type: image/pjpeg

Strange don't you think?  why pjpeg?

I have tried to implement the ASPUploadComponent dll in my ASP project but I believe I haven't registered it correctly. The line of code that reads:
   Set objUpload = Server.CreateObject("ASPUploadComponent.cUpload")
throws an ASP 0177 error - Invalid ProgID.

Do you know what I am doing wrong?

Nevermind - I figured it out. All I needed to do is make sure the name of the VB project is ASPUploadComponent, then make the dll. Everything works great!

I've compiled the code and it works perfectly.  However, in searching through it, I can't figure out where the file size limit is set.  Can anyone point me in the right direction here?  Thanks.

The component works really well.
Now I would like the user to add more information about the file in the upload form. I'd like to have the user choose in a listbox whether the file he wants to upload is a report, a track record, meeting document, so that I can save these search terms in the database.
But since the enc-type in the form is:enctype="multipart/form-data", I can't catch this information with "Request.Form("DocContentType").
How can I solve this problem? Do I have to create two different forms on separate pages? Please help...

I figured it out, sorry for not reading the manual carefully. For additional fields in the form, I can use objUpload.Form("Filedname").Value to get the value of the field.

Hi

Say I will use the a file uploader. Some information of the file (like description) goes in a database (sql) and the uploaded file goes in a folder on the server harddisk.
How do I delete a file on the server and its record in the database at the same time when pressing "delete.

Jannike

In the code that processes the action for your form
1. use the fso to delete the file like this: in VBScript:
Dim fso
Set fso = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fso.GetFile("C:\Folder\file.ext")
f.Delete

and,
2. with ado run the sql "DELETE FROM tablename WHERE ColumnName=valuetodelete" like this in VBScript:
Dim conn
Dim execdelete
set conn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Open ("Connection string here")
Set execdelete = conn.execute("DELETE FROM tablename WHERE ColumnName=valuetodelete")
conn.close
set conn = nothing

That should be more than enough to get you started. Check out the excellent downloadable documentation that MS has on their scripting site for more info.

Hi folks,
I'm trying to get the component to upload the file to a share on a different computer in the intranet network. We do not want the files to be saved on the webserver, but on a different machine. It seems to me that just setting the Uploadpath-string in the ASP-code to the unc path of the share would be enough, but for some reason, this doesn't work. I get the message "The folder to upload to doesn't exist." when trying to upload.
I would be very grateful for any advise that would help me solve this problem.

Hi all,

Can any body help me in writing a script for "downloading a folder from FTP Server (Unix Box) to local system (windows 2000) using vb 6.o"

thankx in advance

SRS

a long delay, but maybe it will help someone else with the same problem

You don't specify a file-size limit as such... instead, you check the field that has your file in (such as objUpload.Form("thefile")), and check it's filesize property... ie

if (objUpload.Form("thefile").FileSize > 1000) then
 'too big
end if

Hi James,
you asked me to post any comments about your control here, so here I am

I just checked your code, and, me too, I can't figure out why the FileSize property always return the double filesize. But it seems to be always like that, so why don't you just change the Property Get code from

Code:

FileSize = GetVal("FileLen")

to

Code:

FileSize = GetVal("FileLen")/2

I know, this is not the 'professional's solution', but it'll work for now, at least until you or somebody else has the time to step deep into your code...

Anyway, am I the first and only one who found out about that...?

And now for something completely different: Some other folks posted already that there's a documentation error concerning the object creation: In your asp code, it says

Code:

Set objUpload = Server.CreateObject("UploadIt.cUpload")

to create the object. Maybe you wanted to rename your project to UploadIt, but then forgot to do so, so actually, the correct code is

Code:

Set objUpload = Server.CreateObject("ASPUploadComponent.cUpload")

You should change that in your example pages in order to avoid more forum messages from people who cannot figure this out by themselves...

HTH
Oliver

Thanks for that. I shall update the tutorial

hmmm.... is it just the source code that has that incorrect line? The tutorial has
Code:

Set objUpload = Server.CreateObject("ASPUploadComponent.cUpload")

yeah, it's just the sample page, then. I didn't check the tutorial, though...
