Thanks both for the replies.

The Office toolkits are not an option. I should have mentioned that I am
using vba with wininet api for the upload because I need the solution to
work with Access 97 and up without any additional references or installs. It
is pretty safe to assume my users have IE and therefore wininet.dll.

It seems that you are saying I can't post the file to a web service, but can
to a web page. This would be ok if need be, but I would prefer using a web
service.
Am I understanding this correctly?
