Hi Wynter,

As I understand you well is the way that you use ASP.NET the the way as
mostly been is talked about in this newsgroup.

Aspnet
<news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet>

Web interface:

<http://communities2.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/?dg=microsof
t.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet>

But maybe you get an answer also in this newsgroup.

Upload process. The ASPX code simply builds a form and has an ONSERVERCLICK
subroutine attached to the submit button in the form. The submit subroutine
processes a PostedFile.Saveas to place the file within a directory on the
server.

"Uploading File... Please Wait" would be sufficient for my purposes. But
since everything is going on within the server's subroutine whatever labels
I set don't get rendered until the process is completed and returned back to
the form once more.

beleive that ASP.NET is complicating the process here.
