    Using GetAbsolutePathName with File Input

    Hello,

    I have two asp pages and try to get the folder & file name which is
    selected on the first page but when I select any file and press submit,
    it shows the folder as "C:\Windows\Sys tem32\-filename-" but I want to
    show actual folder. When I use "text" as the input type, there is no
    problem. Also I tried to use Request. Form method only but it shows
    only the file name not the directory. So I decided to use
    GetAbsolutePath Name too. But it doesn't work for me. I'll be glad if
    you help me to solve this problem.

    --name1.asp--
    <html>
    <head>
    <body>
    <form action="name2.a sp"
    method="post">
    Dosya ismi:
    <input type="file" name="fname">
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
    </form>
    </body>
    </head>
    </html>


    --name2.asp--
    <html>
    <head>
    <body>
    <%
    dim fs, path, name
    set fs=Server.Creat eObject("Script ing.FileSystemO bject")
    name=Request.Fo rm("fname")
    path=fs.GetAbso lutePathName(na me)
    response.write( path)
    %>
    </body>
    </head>
    </html>

      What are you trying to do? Upload a file and find where you have
      uploaded it to? Or find the location of a file on a client machine?
      Either way, you ain't going to get it done with the scripts you have
      here. There is no upload code in name2.asp, so the file never gets
      uploaded and therefore does not exist. And if you are trying to find
      out where the file is on the client machine, you can't. ASP doesn't
      allow you to do that.

      Or are you trying to do something else?

          I don't try to upload any file, just try to learn the path and name of
          selected file. I need the path to use it as a variable to specify the
          text file object. For example:

          Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenText File
          ("c:\Inetpub\ww wroot\record\da ta.txt", ForReading)

          I'll need to select other text files to change the specified file and
          don't want to change the code each time I execute it.

          So I need something like this:
          Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenText File (-#-variable-#-, ForReading)

          The variable will be equal to selected file's path.

              Use Server.MapPath
