Can anyone suggest an ASP upload script that will allow me to rename the file, on-the-fly, before saving it to the server?

Most of the scripts I've found don't even consider this possibility and seem to only allow the file to be stored with its original name.

I'm pretty sure most of them should allow that, certainly all the ones I have tried will allow you to set the name it is saved as.

FreeASPUpload seems to be the best one at the moment and suggests in the documentation that it is possible, but I'm at a loss to get it working. I'm wanting to set the new file name as a hidden form element (when the file is selected) so it gets sent within the form content.

I've worked out that this part of the code saves the files to the server:
For Each fileItem In UploadedFiles.Items
 Set streamFile = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
 streamFile.Type = 1
 streamFile.Open
 StreamRequest.Position = fileItem.Start
 StreamRequest.CopyTo streamFile, fileItem.Length
 streamFile.SaveToFile path & "testfile.jpg", 2
 streamFile.close
 Set streamFile = Nothing
 fileItem.Path = path & fileItem.FileName
Next

I can preset the name in the code - "testfile.jpg" and it works, but if I try to use request.form("") in place of it, to grab another form field, I get an error saying the request.form object wasn't allowed.

Your host doesnt have any nice COM objects installed by chance ? many seem to have Persits uploader installed becuase its free, its got pleanty of features too.

If your not sure what COM objects your host does support try downloading and running this it identifies almost 700 COM objects.

Oh man, the server does have Persits Uploader loaded! I'll get a closer look at how to use it. Thanks guys.
