VBScript and File Dialog Boxes

i want the user to upload some files via a webpage. So, when they hit a button, let's say it's marked "Browse," a file dialog box opens up (a box similar to the one that opens up when you want to save or open a file in Word).

This this possible for VBscript to handle, or do i need to use some other language? Also, can you point me in the right direction so far as how I would go about coding such a thing? Thanks.

Excellent this is just the type of thing I was searching for.

Now once you have the file location on a persons computer how do you get it to the server in ASP?

I have to write file upload script and I just don't know where to start.

Ok you put this in a form then submit it. Next save myfile to a file on the server using the scripting.filesystemobject?....

Am I close to an upload script here?
