Can't get file upload to work

Hi,

I have used Data Assist to successfully create a searchable publications database for a client, with a little help from the forum, so I am very pleased to say I managed this with little knowledge of databases and mySQL thanks to your product :)

Now I have purchased Universal Email for the File Upload features because the client requires the ability to add files to their database.

So, I have copied the insert page and followed the instructions in "Adding Digital File Pro to Data Assist Insert and Update Pages". I found them pretty straightforward but unfortunately the resulting page doesn't seem to work. I have had to add two new fields to the database but I updated the recordset in the server behaviors so as far as I can tell the code looks ok. The page updates the fields it used to, but nothing is added to the new fields (RecordType and PresentedAt). I replaced the URL field (where previously a web address could be added) with the file upload stuff. I used the same ID as described in the documentation. Nothing is added to this field and no file is copied to the folder I specified.

It's probably a simple mistake, would someone have a quick look at my code and see if its obvious? I've attached a zipped version of the file.

I'm hoping that the filename will be added to the URL field. This is already set up to display as a link on my details page. Am I correct in thinking this is how it will work by default?

Thanks for any help you can give. I read with relief about the decision to carry on with forum support. We are doing everything on a tight budget and nearly $50 for a support ticket is out of the question.
