if your server has network rights to access files on that user's pc, then in your fex just filedef the file on the users pc and copy it or read it. If your server doesn't have those rights, then get your network admin to set them up. FILEDEF YOURFILE DISK \\computername\directoryname\..\filename.ext

Another possibility might be to code FTP in a batch or script file and execute it from the procedure. You should be able to find examples of this on the ibi site. WebFOCUS 8202 Win 2012 Test - WebFOCUS 8203 on Win 2012 | |||

I have used a FileLoader Servlet in the past to upload a users excel file and used the value of one of the columns to create the WHERE statement for a table request. I would search the web for it. The one I used allowed you to specify the directory that the file is to be loaded to. Scott Scott  | |||

Thanks. RichH, susannah. I tried both ways you mentioned. One way or the other, it is not working for my setup. Scott's suggestion is something I want to see at this moment. Scott, do you mind provide me the URL or more details to locate the FILELOADER SERVLET. Thanks so much Prod: WebFOCUS 7.1.1 CGI - Self Service - Report Caster,Win2000/IIS Output: HTML, Excel 2000 and PDF | |||

Stingray: With the new MRE, there's a file upload feature but it's not an end user tool, really. Question is: Is there now a FileUpload function that's exposed that we can take advantage of without having to install one of those servlets you mentioned? Thanks. Mark WF 7.6 Windows | |||

DKWAN, Is this supposed to be a service that you want to extend to your users, or is it part of an application which needs the data from your user's PC? What type of file? NOTEPAD? EXCEL? Daniel In Focus since 1982 wf 8.202M/Win10/IIS/SSA - WrapApp Front End for WF | |||

Once a month, users need to upload a tab delimited file within MRE which will then be inserted to SQL Server. I've got the bulk of the process covered, except for the file upload/save. I've seen the MRE file upload but it's not really made for the end user as it makes you create a MFD. I thought since that was added, there might be an API to allow file uploads. Thanks.

What is the format of the file to be uploaded and what is going to happen to it ? Waz...

Waz I appreciate your response, but if you read my post, you will find the answer. At this point, I simply am trying to upload a file to the server and save it wherever I want, probably in the apps directory. Thanks. Mark WF 7.6 Windows | |||

Mark, sorry, but I am a bit confused, the original post was from DKWAN, is this the same issue ? As for the Tab delimited file, I wrote the original upload routine, and many of its functions and options were discarded when it was IBI'ified, it would allow you to re-execute a previous load with just a call. Unfortunately it is written for V5.2 and uses several ActiveX objects. I personally think that a jsp to upload the file is the easiest. I have written one myself for the same reasons, the important thing is to have a simple process for the users to follow. Waz...
