I've tried and tried over and over again to get this form to work.. I keep getting an error when using it and my IE shuts down. Any ideas? What am I doing wrong??? :confused: Is it because of the upload button?? I tried opening a new file for the photos to go to but it won't let me change the file to what it says on FP..

Is there a way to just get the photo to email with the data instead of sending it to a file?

I'm not getting that problem. But I'm also not getting any recognition that the file was actually uploaded.

In any event I ran accross this one time and it was the file that was corrupt that brought IE down. Did you try a plain jane text file that you know is virus free and able to be opened?

no i didn't.. I couldn't get it to open.. I clicked on properties and it didn't allow me to do it.. :confused: That's probably what's going on right?

Try a file thats been scanned and opened.

hope this helps!
