How do I get a common Open File dialog to open in ASP or VBSCRIPT?

<input type=file>

Beyond, what's the background and goal of your question?

I'm creating a sample fourm. In this application is a setting module that lest the Administrator choose different settings. One of the settings is the background image. I need the Common Open File Dialog (lthe one that oepn when you click on File then Open) so he/she can scoohe the file.
So, you don't want to upload anything. - You can't access the <input type=file> text contents. There is a Java applet which extends the options (I'ld have to refind it, and it's not free). - Alternatively, you could use the MS Common Dialog control as ActiveX (IE only), for which I could give you the code.

I can try the MS Common Dialog control. Can you provide the code for that  and I'll see if that works? Thanks.

Hi,

This is also what I want to complete using VBscript:  Open File dialog to open in ASP or VBSCRIPT, and I read the articles listed above. I tried " Working sample" from " robbert ", but it doesn't work. The error: "Char: 16  Error: Object doesn't support this property or method: 'objCmnDlg.ShowOpen'  Code:0 ". Any ideas? Thanks.
