Add a regular expression validator to the control.For the Validation Expression, put in something like this:[A-Za-z0-9/\]{1,30} Take a look at http://www.regexplib.com/ for more expressionsMichael<Yoda>Use the Search page you must. Find the answer you will.</Yoda> |

I don't think you can have validators on that control. You can try, but here again, it's a security thing.If you are trying to idiot proof that file upload stuff, you are going to need to write a really special ActiveX control. Other than that, you'll have to rely on the "skill" of your users.Michael<Yoda>Use the Search page you must. Find the answer you will.</Yoda> |

NoSoSuper,Let me give you an example so you get an idea of what we are talking about here.Let's say, I create a page with a Input="file" box on it.I put some validators on it to force the content to be "c:\yourlistofpasswords.txt" or I could use javascript after the fact to change whatever you entered to whatever file I wanted from your machine. Basically, the reason you can't "touch" the control is so that a web page can't steal files from your machine without your knowledge.Make sense??Michael<Yoda>Use the Search page you must.

BTW,If this becomes an activex control the destination must accept a certificate to have the control marked as a safe control.That seems to be annoying as well...

I think you can get a code signing certficate and sign your ActiveX control. That's what we did.Michael<Yoda>Use the Search page you must. Find the answer you will.</Yoda> |
