Hi there,
Here's what I am trying to accomplish. I am using DMX. I have an instruction form. The user fills the form out.I want the user be able use a form element to browse to and select their Word doc on network. When the form is submitted I want the path to be written in database field. The database is on server1 and files are on server2.I have no an idea how to do and what is my first step.
thanks

 
INSERT command for this field
Code:
<form name=&quot;form1&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;&quot;>
  <input type=&quot;file&quot; name=&quot;tfFileLocation&quot; value=&quot;&quot;>
</form>

be carefull how u allow them to browse.....make sure they go through the full path \\Server\share name\foled\file.file
vs. going through the mapped drive G:\Shares\file.file
or make sure they all are mapped to the same drive/letter

All the best!
