File upload help

[2w]

I am developing a online quoting site that allows a user to select a cad drawing from their local computer that gets processed by an active-x control to determine the cost to develop, so the file is not uploaded at this point, just referenced.

The problem is the client would like their users to be able to save the information to possibly accept the quote and upload the file at a later point. They do not want the user to have to select the file again.

Does anyone know of a way to either defualt the upload file name/path (I have it from the initial selection stored in a database), or if it is possible to save the needed information for the upload from the initial file reference.



Any help would be appreciated

Easiest way would be to place a cookie on the clients machine. A point to remember, the client could move the file at any time, erase the file, or make changes to the file, so any file info you collect may not be current. There's always a better way...
