Upload a file?

[Junior1544]

I'm not exacly new to asp.net and vb.net, but i only do what i know how.

I was just asked to be able to upload an excel file to import to an online database. the data access stuff i don't have a problem with right now, what i'm having a problem with is being able to upload the excel file.

i've tried a few different things, and the most i can get the page to do is display the choose file dialog.. how to i make it transfer the file to the server, and then how do i make sure it's in a certain place each time, and a certain file name?

i have tried lookin around in here for help on this, but it seems everyone know's how to do this but me..

Thanks

You can just use a FileUpload control and then use it's SaveAs method to save the posted file to a directory of your choice.
