Dear members, I want to upload an image file from the client side and then copy the file to the server, store the new path in the database, preview the image in an OLE frame. So, I want to ask the experts in the forum about the best way for: 1. Copy a file to a different location in the local network. 2. Lock the new location (supposed to be a folder on the server), so no one can open, delete, move, rename the contents of this folder. 3. use the Progress control during the uploading and copying the file. I am sorry if my post is not related to this group. Best regards.
