Hello,

I am trying to build a form whereby a user enters their details and submits them to a database along with attaching their CV (resum

You would need to use a server-side CGI to perform file uploads (Web Companion won't do it by itself), then store a reference to your filename in your database.

We offer the WebStar File Upload plug-in with our accounts, which can easily be combined with LDML/CDML to perform very complex operations.

Hello John May - Point In Space,

Thank you for responding to my uploading problem. Unfortunately I am not using Webstar but instead Apache 1.3.9. I would appreciate any other advice on this subject.

Many thanks Antz......UK

Hi,

I've used a little javascript to open a window to allow ftp upload of files where there's no server-side help.

This means an extra action, but they don't have to leave the form page to do it.

in the page header:

<script language="JavaScript"><!--

function openAWindow( pageToLoad, winName, width, height, center) {

xposition=0; yposition=0;

if ((parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4 ) && (center)){

xposition = (screen.width - width) / 2;

yposition = (screen.height - height) / 2;

}

args = "width=" + width + ","

+ "height=" + height + ","

+ "location=0,"

+ "menubar=0,"

+ "resizable=1,"

+ "scrollbars=1,"

+ "status=0,"

+ "titlebar=0,"

+ "toolbar=0,"

+ "hotkeys=0,"

+ "screenx=" + xposition + "," //NN Only

+ "screeny=" + yposition + "," //NN Only

+ "left=" + xposition + "," //IE Only

+ "top=" + yposition; //IE Only

window.open( pageToLoad,winName,args );

}

// --></script>

Hi didier,

Thanks for the site but I'm not using ASP or was there something else you meant for me to look at?

You can use filemaker for your dynamic pages & use ASP for uploading only the file in your server.

No probs, it 's work .

I am writing a windows utility that will enable easy file upload.

It will work with the fmp-currentrecid tag enabling you to pass through the page for an upload and come back to where you would like to be at the other end.

If anyone is interested in full spec please email me.
