file field drop from external resource

Uploading an e-mail from Outlook 2000

[ryanparr]

I develop applications for an IT Operations department. Many of my apps are collection and reporting tools, involving forms that store data then send an e-mail to certain departments. I would like to be able to "drag" an e-mail from Outlook 2000 and "drop" it into a file-upload field on a form. When I do this I get some meta information, but not a file. Does anyone know how this can be done, or if the VBA necessary to implement this feature would be done in IE or Outlook?

I don't know the answer definitively but here are some possiblities to look at.

Can you drag a text file from the desktop to the file upload box and have it upload correctly?

If this is the case, try dragging the email to the desktop first and then drag it to the upload box.

If the you can't drag the text file to the upload box then the problem is at the IE and the upload end and this is where you will need to implement modifications rather than the outlook end.

Hopefully this will help
