Issue with ASP and quotes

[ihsutd]

I am trying to copy an uploaded document from one directory to another. The uploaded file (attach1) will be dynamically named. The resulting file (LName) name is based on a last name field. I have the following code but I cannot figure out how to deal with the issue of quotation marks. Should I escape them or do I use another method?

You should definitely change the code to something like this

dim fs, loadfile, movefile
loadfile = "E:\Inetpub\wwwroot\uploads\" &
frmSend.Fields.Item("attach1").Value & ".doc"
movefile = "E:\Inetpub\wwwroot\uploads\named\" &
frmSend.Fields.Item("LName").Value & ".doc"
set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fs.MoveFile loadfile,movefile
set fs=nothing

That seems like it will do the trick. When I try that code I get an error

Variable is undefined: 'frmSend'

Do I need to define that variable at some point? I assumed the frmSend being the form name would suffice.

The code block would need to go after the recordset had been created which
will define the name of that variable.
