Full Version: Upload files using access?

I would think this is possible, my scenario:

Currently we have a form in access that tells a user where to post their file (into a networked folder that we all know the address too) So the user posts his/her file in the folder, and then fills out this form giving their name and their file name and submits it to us.

Is it possible that they fill in their name, then click a button called Upload, open up the OpenFileDialog box, select their file and click Ok, and then the file automatically posts to that folder when they are finished with the form?

Let me know, thanks.

Hi,
sure...to open the open/save dialog check this code!
To move the file either use the FileCopy method, or the FileSystem object. Search UA for both and you will find many many examples on how to use it.
