ASPRunnerPro General questions

Hi,
I'd like for users to be able to upload random files into a pre-specified directory, with the filename placed in a link field for retrieval.
The Pro upload feature is great, but too many large files in an OLE field is not always a good thing, especially for MS Access.
Could aspPro or .net version maybe do this one day?
Thanks

Pete,
uploading files to a folder on the Web server is even easier than uploading to the database however it may cause more problems. For example you need to set write permissions for everyone on this folder on the Web server.
One day I'll figure out how to handle this in ASPRunner.

For uploading files of any size from a client to a web directory, I use a free product available from Dundas Software. The product name is ASP Upload.
To download it, you can go to the Dundas site, then naviage to Products, then Other products. You will see Dundas ASP Upload offered as a free product.
Tip, to run Dundas ASP Upload, you have to have Dundas State Server running on your web server. That product also is free from Dundas.
Product works great.
