Are you having Office client installed in the machine from which you access site from out of the network? At least Office 2003 is needed for this option AFAIK. --- Rajesh | My Blog MCTS - WSS AD, WSS Config, MOSS Config.

The owssupp.dll in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12 or C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12 could be the issue. If a previous version of Office were on this/these machines you could have two owssupp.dll files and office could be getting confused. If this is the case, rename the old one to .old and try again. I've also found intermittent issues with this in the past if a GPO or other policy or setting is not allowing users to access this file properly. One way to test it would be to try to register this DLL. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490985.aspxStart -> Run -> regsvr32 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\owssupp.dll "Depending on the error this could lead you to a resolution. You could also ensure that Sharepoint Support is isntalled. This article will help you verify based on your version of Office.http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/833714----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I also found the below steps on a blog some time ago and copied them to my files, it may help: The steps are as follows: 1) Browse to your website at http://<servername>/_layouts/settings.aspx; you will need to login by providing a service account name & password or your site collection administrator account & password. 2) Once you login, click on 'Site Actions' menu. 3) Then, click on 'Manage Site Content and Structure'. 4) Click on any document library you want to upload or add files into. If you do not see the 'Upload' menu from the dropdown main menu between the 'New' and 'Actions' menu then you have this bug as well showing up on your server. Don't give up yet, there is a solution. Keep going through these steps! 5) Click on 'New' and select 'Item'. 6) You should now see the Upload Document page; under the input browse field there should be a link for 'Upload Multiple Files...', if you do not see this you will need to install either Office 2003 or Office 2007. If you do see it, click on it. 7) Now, you should see the multiple upload page that allows you to select multiple files. If you try to select one or several and click on the OK button, nothing will happen. No need to worry! There is a work around. Just keep reading to the next step. 8) On the hierarchy navigation you will have links something like this: WebSiteName > Folder1 > Folder2 9) Click on the "Document Library" folder name; in our case it was Folder1. Basically its the folder you ended up in in step #4. 10) Now, did you notice anyting in your menu change? Now you should be able to see the Upload menu option between the 'New' and 'Actions' menu that you could not see in step #4. 11) Click on the 'Upload' menu and select 'Upload Multiple Documents' 12) Now, you will be back at the Upload document page where you were in step #7 13) Select one file or many and then click OK. Now it works!!! You should get an IE popup asking you that your about to upload files to your site, Click OK.

>still Multiple Upload is missing to some users . Are all the users using IE as browser ? Multiple Uploads won't be available for Firefox; Safari; Chrome. (In the latest version of Chrome the link appears and then immediately vanishes!)WSS FAQ sites: http://wssv2faq.mindsharp.com and http://wssv3faq.mindsharp.com Total list of WSS 3.0 / MOSS 2007 Books (including foreign language) http://wssv3faq.mindsharp.com/Lists/v3%20WSS%20FAQ/V%20Books.aspx

This will occur if a client machine is using 64bit Internet Explorer.
