I need to pass a session variable to a form in ASPinstead of the formfield itself ?

I need to pass a session variable to a form in ASP instead of the formfield
itself ?

This is so I can store the entire path and filename I am uploading as I use it
many times in several forms on the same page.

The asp page code bit I have changed and doesn't work is:-

<INPUT TYPE="FILE" NAME="<%= Session("file") %>" size="80">

Any ideas please anyone ?

Hi!
Try some thing like this.
<input type="hidden" name="file" value="<%=session("file")%>">

Hi

Thankyou very much for this - I'll try it out...

Hi

Now I'm getting this when I run it:-

'File saved successfully on the server as:
Object required'

The response page (part of code only) is:-

========================
<%
Dim oFileUp
dim pathname
dim FileSizeInBytes
FileSizeInBytes = request.totalbytes

'--- Instantiate the FileUp object
Set oFileUp = Server.CreateObject("SoftArtisans.FileUp")
oFileUp.OverwriteFiles = False
pathname = "/PropertyImages/" &
cstr((GetCountryName.Fields.Item("CountryName").Va lue)) 'Get the right path to
save the image to bfore saving...
'pathname = "/PropertyImages/" & cstr(oFileUp.form("CountryForImage")) 'Get
the right path to save the image to bfore saving...
'--- Set the Path property to the location you wish to temporarily cache the
incoming file before saving
oFileUp.Path = Server.MapPath(pathname)
'--- Check if a file was selected (myFile is coming from the html code)
'--- If so, continue processing
If Not oFileUp.Form("myFile").IsEmpty Then

If FileSizeInBytes <= 105582 Then 'File must not be larger than 100 Kb.
'response.write upload.form("CountryForImage")
'--- Save the file
oFileUp.Form("myFile").Save
'--- The file is saved, display a confirmation message
Response.Write ("<B>File saved successfully on the server as:</B><BR>")

'--- The ServerName() property is the full path of the file where it was
saved on the server
Response.Write(oFileUp.Form("myFile").ServerName)
Else
Response.Write("Error: File was larger than 100 Kb...")
End if
Else
Response.Write("Error: There was no file submitted for upload.")
End If
================
Any other resons why it won't go - the type of the file is BinaryREAD -
MULTIPART... ?

Hi!
The directory on the web server must have Read, Write, and Delete
permissions.
Have you checked this?

'--- Set the Path property to the location you wish to temporarily cache
the
incoming file before saving
oFileUp.Path = Server.MapPath(pathname) Don't you have to put the correct
path in here?
some thing like this Path = Server.Mappath ("/upload/folder name")

Hi

Yes, full rights on here. Also, it works if I put the filename object back in
the form instead of the hidden field and browse to select the file to upload -
the response is successful and the image uploads?
