Default Help with "Upload File" and simple form

Hope this is the right forum for this question.

Very much a newb here - I'm doing a site for a plaque maker and need a place to where customers can submit info.
I'd like a text area box to submit verbage and also a file uploader (where they hit Browse, then select the art from their files). And then one submit button for both.

Then the files are emailed to us.

I'm having trouble locating info on how to do this correctly. Help would be greatly appeciated!

Other info: I'm building on Frontpage 2003, and will hosted by Godaddy.

Thank You!

Easy peasy

in your form tag enctype="multipart/form-data"
then your input field is: input type="file" name="thingtoupload" id="thingtoupload"

I take it you also want the script / code that will allow you to actually upload the files?

If so I've used ASPUpload before and found it works quite well. See: AspUpload.com - the Most Advanced NT ASP Upload Component

I configured my form to have an upload box and a file name box, you could browse for a file, give it a name then upload it to a specified location on your webserver.

The file path, file name and any other data was stored in an access database.

I then created a 'admin' front end that listed all the files that had been uploaded, with a link to download them.

However, I've not used Godaddy for hosting before so not sure it will support ASPUpload...
