It works great except for this one thing; when I attempt to upload a file that already exists in the destination folder I get this error message. Error Type: Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A0046) Permission denied /upload_working/Loader.asp, line 68 Browser Type: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Page: POST 84012 bytes to /upload_working/Insert.asp POST Data: error '80020009' Exception occurred. /iisHelp/common/500-100.asp, line 223 The bad news is that each user only gets one file name for his photo and if they want to change their photo it will have to overwrite the previous one. What can I do to fix this? R. Chicken

With XP Pro SP2 and ntfs file system, setting the permissions seems to be the answer to every problem. It was and I did and everything works fine. Again, thanks for a great tutorial.
