Thanks for your help Mark. Here is my actual code. Its pretty simple. I
have a field where user uploads an excel file. I have to process that
excel file and save it. The webpage doesn't seem to be doing anything.
I enabled running 'active server pages' on IIS admin. Whole office is
installed on this server.
thanks
