Saving Attachments to Web using ActiveX

Ok, here’s the issue. I need to save files on a user’s local machine as attachments to a web page without user intervention. I’m not worried about using an unsigned or unsafe ActiveX control, since this will be on an internal app where our domain is a trusted site for users. I’ve tried many other approaches, but I believe ActiveX would be the best. I’m stuck, though, after getting a handle on a file how can I actually call the file to be saved to the web document? Below is my code at where I’m at along with further explaination below:

Sub getImageFile()

Set fso = CreateObject( “Scripting.FileSystemObject” )

fileFolderTemp = fileNameTemp & “_files”

Set fileFolder = fso.GetFolder( fileFolderTemp )

Set fileCollection = fileFolder.Files

For Each fileTemp in fileCollection

  if (InStr(LCase(fileTemp.name), ".jpg") Or InStr(LCase(fileTemp.name), ".gif")) Then

  fileNameTemp = "c:\" & document.all.UniqueID.value & "_files\" & fileTemp.name

  //Set fso1 = CreateObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" )

  //Set MyFile = fso.GetFile( fileNameTemp )

  MyFile.Copy ("c:\temp\" & fileTemp.name )

End if

Next

End Sub

I’m basically checking a folder for .gif and .jpg files and if they match I need these attached to the document.

As you can see, I have a handle on the file and I can even use an ActiveX method to save it to another location, and it works. However, my question and intent is, how would I actually go about calling the file to be saved to the document I’m in.?

Any ideas? Any suggestions? Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for all of it.

Tim,

You need to embed your activex component to your form. Search the forum (either this forum or the 4/5 forum) for “ActiveX AND Attachments” or “ActiveX AND Web” and you should find what you need.
