Right. ASP is incompatible with most browse-time features
of the FrontPage Server Extensions, including the feature
that saves uploaded files.

To get this working, you'll need to code the whole page in
ASP. The ASP code will need to use an ActiveX control for
picking the uploaded file out of the Request object.

Most hosts provide at least one of such ActiveX control as
part of their basic service (no extra charge). Look around
the host's support pages to see which one they provide,
and where to find documenation.
