Can't upload Office 2007 docx to existing ASP web page

most likely your processing script is accepting only files with specific extensions. The browser will not impose those restrictions on the user. You need to look at your processing script. Post your code if you can't solve this.

Is it that the site limits files to 3-letter extensions?  It may do this unintentionally by looking at uploaded files in a "*.???" format.  Does it give a specific error?  Are you the developer of the file or have any code to look at?   There could be numerous things that could cause the problem.

I'm not the developer of this section of the application but I am the guy that was given the task to maintain this legacy app. My strenght in more .NET and C# but I remember doing som Classic ASP while in college but I'm far from a guru in it.

 I've stepped through the code and have not found a snipit that defines accepted scripts. I have developed a .NET  attachment page that does limit what the use can uplaod and figured that is how this function would work also, but it does not.

I've set several break points and end up on a page named loader.asp Below in the code.  When I step through the code and I get to getContentType when attaching a non 2007 MsWord doc and hover over the dict(name) it reads application/msword. When I try to attach a MsWord 2007 doct it reads appliaction/(then it has a long string of stuff that is truncated where I can't read it).

From my research it seems there is a Scripting Dictionary I need to update but haven't found a good resource explaining how.

Try changing line 59
  For tPoint = 1 to LenB(temp)
To
  For tPoint = 1 to LenB(temp)-1

Something you may want to check is if you have registered the .docx extension in IIS.  Check this out:

http://www.bram.us/2007/05/25/office-2007-mime-types-for-iis/
http://wdg.uncc.edu/Microsoft_Office_2007_MIME_Types_for_Apache_and_IIS

Try this before the code change.  It may be all you need.

Same error

The JIT error reads:
unhandled exception('Multiple-dtep OLE DB operation generated errors. Ched each OLD DB status value, if avaliable. No work was done.') occurred in inetinfo.exe[816]

When I hover over rs("ContentType") = contentType
during debugging it reads:
contentType ="application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document"

I read  somewhere I needed to register this with my ISS. I tried this and still have the error.

here is a more complete copy of the code
