OK...
I am so new to this and do not know code. I have not typed any language since the 80's when I was typing LINE 10, LINE 20 etc. on my Commodore64. I am a hardware systems integrator. I also design networks. With that disclaimer out of the way...
I have been trying to get a form similar to the one Yahoo or MSN use to upload pictures to a directory. I have client that uses the database editor in FP and it works fine for editing the database. Now I need a way to upload the pictures. I am using a Access database and ASP to build a use truck list with pictures. The client can change the database with the editor and if they could load the pictures up to the folder after naming it according to the convention I set up the ASP would pull the image up and thumbnail it next to the text. Any help on a simple upload form would be nice. I am running all of this on a IIS server. Oh the client did not like the FTP method for whatever reason.

Hi scockerham and welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com]

I would try website like www.aspin.com to find this kind of script. There is a search box at the top simply type upload files and you are served with quite a lot of results (some are shareware some are freeware - take your pick)

scockerham,
I hope you're not uploading binary data to the access database. If so, pretty soon, the database will become bloated and very slow. It would be best to insert the url path of the image in the database. Upload to image directory, then insert filename and path to database.
