Hi,

There are several pure asp upload classes available on the net.  But 
since chiliasp doesn't support asp classes, they will need 
modification.  Here is a link to an article about one such class:

As to inserting the data into a database,  it depends on the database 
you are using and how you want to extract it afterwards.


I have always had problems inserting binary data into a mysql blob 
field from asp ( has anyone else had any success ? ).  

I have had to overcome it by base64 encoding the data first, which is 
ok for small files but can seriously increase storage size for large 
files.

Ian
