Can I use ASPupload?

If possible, switch to ASP.NET - you won't need to use mail components or third party upload components - it's all included in the framework, and is a lot easier to use.

Yes, if it is installed on the server
You need to find what components you can use (that the host has installed) first.

try http://www.asp101.com/samples/viewas...5Fattach%2Easp or http://www.w3schools.com/asp/asp_send_email.asp

both using CDOSYS (Win2k and Win 2003)

Thank you much for the big help. I will try and let you know but before trying if I want to let user browse the folders and choose a file to attach what should I do? since in the code the path and file already is in there.

Thanks,
Elham

we need the full error message
assuming Internet Explorer use;

Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced tab -> scroll to Browsing and uncheck "Show friendly HTTP error messages".

are the components (W3 Upload and JMail) you are tring to use installed on the server ?
