My company doesn't support some of the frontpage functions. I want to know if

I build a simple form that will allow you to add a pictures without using the

upload function??

You will have to use a upload function, check with your host to see what they offer or allow, not

all host allow files to be upload by site visitors.

You have 2 options:



You can write an ASP (ASP.Net, CGI, PHP, what-have-you) application that

uses an HTML form with a file upload form field to upload the pictures, with

a form handler that saves the uploaded pictures to a location on the server.

ASP and most scripted server-side ISAPIs can only work with a third-party

COM object (such as SAFileUp, from Software Artisans) to handle the upload.

ASP.Net has the CLR classes needed to do this without any outside aid. As

you might imagine, this will require some programming skill.



-or-



Put a message on the form, which gives the mailing address of your building

with the server, and (optionally) a map showing directions, and telling the

person where to either mail or deliver the image. You might want to ask them

to scan it first, unless of course you want to scan any pictures delivered

in a non-digital format. ;-)
