Answer 1

You have 2 things to solve here the uploading of file, and the attachment of it to an outbound e-mail.

You will probably require a third party upload component - many Windows hosting companies have the 'Persits' suite of ASP components ready for use with working demos. Is this your own server or a shared hosting etc? As there may be implications on shared hosting with what you can actually do - e.g. max file size, type of file etc.

The sample code should help you but note the 'somecomponent' bit obviously need to be inline with whatever you use.

Upload - Send an email with attachment
<% 'Sample file Form-Email.asp ' Let's you send one an email with one or more attachments.

'Create upload form
Dim Form: Set Form = Server.CreateObject("SomeComponent.ASPForm")

'Do not upload data greater than 1MB. 
Form.SizeLimit = 100*1024

Const fscompleted  = 0

If Form.State = fscompleted Then 'completed
  ProcessForm
End If 


Sub ProcessForm
  Dim eFrom, eTo, Subject, Message

  'get source form fields - From, To, Subject and Message
  eFrom = Form("From")
  eTo = Form("To")
  Subject = Form("Subject")
  Message = Form("Message")

  Dim objNewMail, File, FileName, FS, TempFolder

  Set FS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  'Get temporary folder
  TempFolder = FS.GetSpecialFolder(2) & "\emailtemp"

  'Create a new email message
  Set objNewMail = CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
  Const CdoMailFormatMime = 0
  objNewMail.MailFormat = CdoMailFormatMime
  'Save source files to temporary folder
  'Add these files to the new e-mail
  For Each File In Form.Files
    'If source file is specified.
    If Len(File.FileName) > 0 Then
      FileName = TempFolder & "\" & File.FileName 

      File.SaveAs FileName

      objNewMail.AttachFile FileName
    End If
  Next

  'Send the new email
  objNewMail.Send eFrom, eTo, Subject, Message

  'delete temporary files
  For Each File In Form.Files
    If Len(File.FileName) > 0 Then
      FileName = TempFolder & "\" & File.FileName 
      FS.DeleteFile FileName
    End If
  Next
End Sub
