Hi kvarnerexpress,

I've same problem with you, and after googling for days i didnt found what i want. but the basic for upload file is by sending "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" header. I used INET(Mic. Internet Transfer Control SP4) control for this. I've named this control INETPOST.

assuming the field name is "myfile" and the button name is "upload" for the upload form

' create sub for making upload postprivate sub upload_file()  dim strPOST as string, Header as string Boundary as string, uagent as string  dim Idboundary as string   ' id boundary for the site, it may different     uagent = "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7"  INETPOST.host = "somesite.com;  Idboundary = "9876543210123"	' you can generate this number  Boundary = String(27, "-") & Idboundary	 ' mutipart post need "-" sign     Header = uagent & vbCrLf & "Content-Type: multipart/form-data; " & "boundary=" & Boundary    strPOST = "--" & Boundary & vbCrLf & _  "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=""myfile""" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _  """ & EncodeBin & """ & vbCrLf & _ "--" & Boundary & vbCrLf & _ "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=""upload""" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _ "Upload File" & vbCrLf & _ "--" & Boundary & "--" & vbCrLf  INETPOST.Execute "http://http://www.somesite.com/upload.php&%2334;, "POST", strPOST, Header  ' Wait untill it finished  Do Until BekasNET.StillExecuting = False: DoEvents: Loopend sub' function to encode binary fileFunction EncodeBin(SourceFile As String)Dim buf As String, File1 As IntegerFile1 = FreeFileOpen SourceFile For Binary Access Read As #File1  ' make buffer to storing file's content  buf = Space(LOF(File1))  Get #File1, , bufClose #File1EncodeBin = bufEnd Function

Q: Does anyone know how to upload a file and form data
to a server?

Assumptions that I made by reading your question and comments.
You have a server with PHP as a web script and you want to save a file from you users desktop/volume/share to the http server using an html form.

if this is correct you have to go to http://www.tizag.com/phpT/fileupload.php
I think this is what you looking for you can save information from a form to a database and upload a file to a server using PHP.

Hope this help!!
