Hi Patrice,

Thanks for the suggestion. After reviewing the control, I found the
following:

"Upload via RFC1867 POST (compatible with SoftArtisans FileUp) or HTTP PUT"

However, my understanding is that this ActiveX control only creates a
collection at the client side -- and, consequently, I have not been able to
utilize the request.files collection to find the files I've added to the
control. It seems that I need to post these to the server, and I'm not
certain how this is done at the moment.

The ActiveX control is from Software Artisans, and is called XFile.

If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks a lot!

Wade
