TextStreaming Client-held Text File? How?

[Sensibilium]

I have a form which allows the client to browse to a text file containing comma-separated-values of product records.

However, rather than uploading the file to the webserver, I would prefer to open the file from the clients computer, and stream through it while updating database-held product records.

Is there an easy way of doing this without using a COM or the VB5 FileUploader class?

Thanks in advance. Ahdkaw

Sorry if it is digging up old news, but I recently stumbled across this same problem.

I need to access a file on the client PC too. Is there a way of telling ASP to look 'client-side'?
