FP2002: Cannot Upload File and Submit It to Database at the Same Time (281801)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft FrontPage 2002

This article was previously published under Q281801

SYMPTOMS

When you insert a File Upload form onto a page in FrontPage, you can either click Send to Database in the properties of the form or click Options and specify a file upload folder. Neither option works after the page is saved as an ASP page.

CAUSE

Database functionality in FrontPage relies on Active Server Pages (ASP); therefore, the page must be saved with an ASP extension. Forms in FrontPage require that the page be an HTM page.

A run-time webbot (a webbot that is run when the page is viewed in the browser, such as a hit counter, or when a form action is initiated, such as the case in this article, using the FrontPage Saved Results Component) cannot reside on the same page as a Save to Database form.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
