Hi, I have used asp captcha to good use on two sites. I have however found that if I use it on a form with uploads and enctype="multipart/form-data" it keeps saying the captcha is wrong. Is this a recognised issue and is there some way around it. I spent ages until I realised this was the problem. Simply by putting enctype="multipart/form-data" in a working form you can get the repeat error of the captcha.
Thanks for any pointers.
Richard

When you post a form to a server using enctype="multipart/form-data" then you can not read in any form fields in the usual way.

How you read in the form data from a form that uses enctype="multipart/form-data" depends on many things, including what upload component you are using.

Some Upload components are able to read in form data which is not part of the upload but you need to consult the upload components documentation on how to do this.
