Opening the Open Common Dialog box to get a file path

[NeeNee]

I am looking for a way to get a files path using ASP. I am trying to find a way to let a user find a file across the network using something like the windows open dialog box and then using the FileSystem Object to move a rename the file to a central location.

Is there a way to access the windows open dialog box to get path the same way a Web Email site will get the path to a file in order to create an attachment? Do I need an API or purchase a component?

Thank you,

Denis,

The dialog box displayed when an HTML form uploads a file is a function of the browser. What I mean is, it happens on the client machine instead of on the server.

If this project is for use on an intranet where all of the site users have the same browser, and the users also have access to these network resources via their network login, then perhaps this is a task best handled with client-side logic rather than ASP.

Thank,

Are you referring to using javascript and HTML to access the network? I guess I did not phrase my question properly. My page will be ASP but I don't know how to access the directory.

Is there a javascript function or method you are aware of? If this is the case, then I will post that question to a different group.
