File upload problem

I'm writing a small system to allow users to upload documents to my
server. I'm using Persist AspUpload for this. I have 2 ASP files.
In the first ASP file I prompt the user for a file description and a
filename, like this ...
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="sl_upload2.asp"
ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
<TABLE>
<tr><td>Document description</td><td><INPUT TYPE="TEXT"
NAME="DOCDESC"
SIZE="100"></td></tr>
<tr><td>Document filename </td><td><INPUT TYPE="FILE"
NAME="DOCFILE"
SIZE="100"></td></tr>
</table>
<p>
<button type="submit" style="width:100px;height:25px;">Ok</button>
<button type="reset"
style="width:100px;height:25px;">Clear</button>
</FORM>
In the 2nd ASP, which is the - ACTION="sl_upload2.asp" - file, I
simply perform the upload, like this ...
<%
Response.Write "<html>"
Response.Write "<head><title>St Lukes After School
Care</title></head>" Response.Write "<body bgcolor=" &
Session("system_color_bg") & ">"
Set Upload = Server.CreateObject("Persits.Upload")
intCount = Upload.Save("C:/INETPUB/WWWROOT/SLASC/UPLOADS")
Response.Write "The file(s) have been stored successfully."
Response.Write "</BODY>"
Response.Write "</HTML>"
%>
No matter what I try (Get/Post/etc) I cannot get the DOCDESC and
DOCFILE values to pass through to the 2nd ASP file.
What can I do ?

You have to look at the upload.form collection - see
http://www.aspupload.com/manual_simple.html for more information.

By the way, you might want to think about using less bloated code for
your form (tableless), and a stylesheet is a better idea than
bgcolor="<%=session(system_color_bg)%>" - and yes, a stylesheet CAN by
dynamic.
