I am trying to design a form that takes information to be entered into the database. Along with that info, an image is uploaded with each record. Part of the form tag need to be 'enctype="multipart/form-data"' for the image, but that seems to make all the text unreadable. Any help?
 
what happens is that your form gets sent up as binary data. You need to parse this binary data in order to get a readible output. This is where FTP components come in. Any good FTP Component will take the input, and separate the form from the image.

A good free one is at
- it's called aspupload.

If you can't use components, or don't want to put up with the hassle of it, there's an article on 15seconds.com regarding an FTP Script.

it's at I think it might be under component building. not quite sure...

hope this helps you out.
