Hi,

I hope this is the correct place to ask this question. I have an email form where I need to attach files from the user and send it in the email with the rest of the user's information. However, it seems what ever I try doesn't work.
My site is on a MAC server running Lasso and filemaker pro. I can't use PHP or CGI scripts. I was hoping someone could help me with the coding problem.
Thanks!

allanp73 - I know you posted this originally in the HTML an Browsers forum - but given that you've tried so many solutions already, I thought you may have a Mac specific problem. Since you are talking about a Mac server, I've moved the thread over here to the Macintosh Webmaster forum.

no I haven't. However, the guy who is hosting the site did and had no luck with these forums. I wasn't hoping someone here could help.

Without cgi executables or PHP scripting there is no way to initiate the transfer of a file off the Users machine from your webpage. You say your site has Lasso & filemaker pro, if the database were MySQL you could insert the files into the database as Blobs, but I don't believe Filemaker Pro supports Blob data type.

I believe that with the options that you have available to you, uploading from a page won't work.
