Remarks

Let's you access another uploading form in the same process (ASP application). You can access form fields that are currently uploaded and other ASPForm properties (uploaded size, form state, ...)

Examples

Upload - upload with ie-style progress bar.

Upload - Progress bar concept.

Web browrser (IE/NN) does not accept response data when uploading. So there is one another way to show progress bar during upload - open a new client browser window with another server script on begginning of upload and access current uploading form from the second server script (task).
These two server upload tasks are join using ScriptUtils.ASPForm.UploadID property (in the uploading task) and ScriptUtils.ASPForm.getForm property (progress bar task). You can use ScriptUtils.ASPForm.NewUploadID property to get unique upload ID, or you can get this ID by any other way (for example, using rnd() function).

<%
If Request.ServerVariables("REQUEST_METHOD") = "POST" Then
  Dim Form: Set Form = Server.CreateObject("ScriptUtils.ASPForm")
  Form.UploadID = Request.QueryString("UploadID")
  If Form.State = 0 Then
  ....
  End If
End If'POST
%>

Progress bar script:

<%
  Dim Form: Set Form = CreateObject("ScriptUtils.ASPForm")
  On Error Resume Next
  Set Form = Form.getForm(Request.QueryString("UploadID"))
  
  If Err = 0 Then '?Completted 0 = in progress
      For Each Field In Form.Files
        fHTML = fHTML & "FieldName:" & Field.Name
        If Field.Length<=0 And Field.FileName<>"" Then
          fHTML = fHTML & ", uploading: " & Field.FileName
        ElseIf Field.Length>0 Then
          fHTML = fHTML & ", OK: " & Field.FileName & "," & FormatSize(Field.Length)
        End If
        
        fHTML = fHTML & "<br>"
      Next
     Response.Write fHTML
  End If
%>
