Having trouble updating a file field

Im having trouble updating the file field. At first it would rewrite with nothing but then i read your other post http://www.webassist.com/forums/posts.php?id=27157 and im using the hidden field and that works but when i pick a new image it doesnt update to the new image.

Thanks for your help.

1) The form enconding type is not set to multipart/form-data.

for a file to upload, you must use the multipart/form-data encoding type.

2) There is no file upload behavior on this page

You need to use the file upload behavior in order to upload a file.

in the file upload behaivor, bind the default file setting to the hidden form element.

3) the file upload will create a WA Uploaded Files (File Field Name) binding group. in this binding group is a variable named Server File name.

in the Insert record behavior, bind the file column to the server File name variable.

I didnt understand the last bit

the file upload will create a WA Uploaded Files (File Field Name) binding group. in this binding group is a variable named Server File name.

in the Insert record behavior, bind the file column to the server File name variable.

Am I spose to have a insert and update record behavior on the same page. Im confused.

Sorry, I meant to say:


"in the update record behavior, bind the file column to the server File name variable."

sorry for the confusion.
