Read text file from local machine

[zubie]

Hi all

 

I wish to read a text file for the c drive of the client machine

e.g. c:\import\customers.txt

 

I am using this file to import into the access database on the server.

 

Problem: When I try to open this file from the page it looks to the servers c:\

 

Anyone know how I can read from the clients PC??

 

cheers

Because asp.net is a server based language it will look at the server instead of the client PC.

 

The work around it to upload the file to the server then import into the access database
