    File attachments in VB

    Is it possible to do file attachments in a VB program. I do not want to use the email attachment object as it saves the attachment to the mail server, i want to attach a file from a vb program and save it to my application server for later distribution. Does anyone have any ideas, i am looking at "POSTING ACCEPTOR" in microsoft site server, this gives me the ability to post files onto a server through a ASP page however it does not talk any thing about VB. any information on this will be very helpful.

    Are there any third party tools that do this job.

    Thank you

    I've done a similar project (not sure how similar it is to yours) where files are stored on the server for later use. It basically involved a client that recieves the description of the file and inserting it into a DB on the server. Then the file is uploaded onto the server (either regular copy command or FTP) with a specific filename format and this filename is attached to the description record in the DB. For later use, user finds the description and retrieves the file via the client.

    This is pretty much the basic functionalities of program such as DOCUMENTUM/MS VSS and so on.
