Hi There,

This programs actually reads a DAT file and gives the best CPU time taken to run the program.
for example I'm reading files like TN3004, TN3104 , TN3204 ...so forth
but when i try to run this prog it gives an error File name currently limnited to 8.3 format ..**please try again**
<-<-3;1H Enter name of Read

this is the part of the code where i'm having issues

Private Sub cmdRun_Click()
Dim strfile As String
strfile = ""

read the file into a string

Dim listStr, currStr As String
Dim Counter As integer

pos = 1
pos = Instr(pos, strFile, "DATAFILE=" )
tempStr = "TN"

For Counter = 0 to 7
listStr = " "
ListStr = tempstr & "3" & counter & "0" 'file names start with TN3004 etc
listStr = listStr & "4"
currStr = Mid(strFile, pos + 9,5)
txtCurrentFile. Text = currstr


Next counter

Hi There, I have a PHP script that sends an email with attachment and works great when provided the path to the file to send. However this file needs to be on the same server as the script. I want to develop a webpage where people can send attachments that are stored on their local PC.
