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 ?

Thanks,

They won't be in the Form collection or the Request collection, where
you would otherwise expect to find them, because you've specified
ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data", as you must to upload the file.

DOCDESC and DOCFILE will be sent along with the file in a
MIME-formatted data stream. I don't know anything about Persits
Upload, but it should have some way to let you access these things.

For Each Item in objUpload.Form

I have added some lines to the program to display the values I want.
DOCDESC is now coming through, but not DOCFILE.

<%
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."

myDOCDESC = Upload.Form("DOCDESC")
myDOCFILE = Upload.Form("DOCFILE")

Response.Write myDOCDESC
Response.Write myDOCFILE

Response.Write "</BODY>"
Response.Write "</HTML>"
%>
