Nitin, what you want is a form uploader script. If you have fantasies
about being able to read a file on a user's computer just because they

Agreed, with one minor point.....
If the users are on a network this would be possible, you would just
need to know the path to the file in question. There are several
hot-button issues with this, but we have found seveal ways to work and
play nicely together.
