Would asnyone know the command to do that???

Thanks, in advance for your help,

For Security reasons and browser security settings, you will not be able to
allow a web page to interact with the desktop. Now it is possible to write
custom ASP code to allow the file to be uploading by a user to a specific
folder and then from a custom ASP application import the text file content
into the database.

1. You need to use a file upload component, so you need to check and see
what is installed on your host or what they are willing to install, such as
ASPUpload.

2. I think you would then need to look at using FileSystemObject for opening
the text file, but as for how to actual read and then import, I am not sure
what else you are going to need, as this is something I have not had a need
to do.

I either manual inserting the data directly into the database on my desktop
or providing forms for data input, but I do use ASP to allow clients to
export the data to Excel or .csv formatted files.

I would suggest posting this to the ASP newsgroup
