Unfortunately that is the componenent that the ISP supports and it is unlikely that I can change it without evidence that there is a clear problem with it.
 
Is this a unique problem to Persits AspUpload?
 
For what it's worth, I receive an error in the following script in upload_files.asp:
 
<script  language="JavaScript">
 window.opener.document.getElementById("message").contentWindow.focus();
 var htmlLink = window.opener.document.getElementById("message").contentWindow.document.selection.createRange()
 htmlLink.pasteHTML('<a href="/forum/upload/jpullam/2005-05-06_064103_test_'_file.doc">2005-05-06_064103_test_'_file.doc& lt;/a>');
 window.opener.document.getElementById("message").contentWindow.document.execCommand('paste', false, '');
 window.close();
</script>
 
The error points to the imbedded single quote in the URL.

Windows allows users to create filenames with imbedded quotes. For example Captain's Committee.doc is a valid name. If you select that file when doing an upload, the upload fails.
 
Some users report that the name field just goes blank; I have received a runtime error.
 
I realize that this is not a great naming practice, but users do what they do.
 
Any idea how to fix this problem?
 
Using 7.9 with Persits ASPUpload.
