Uploading files on a update form.

I have a update form which has a upload file field

this is for insurance documents to be uploaded

My file field has a hidden field.

file field name = insurance
hidden field = new_insurance

I have tried to follow the tutorial but this doesn't seem to work for me

I have the hidden field bound to the file column in my recordset.

in the upload file behavior, I have bound the Default file field to the hidden field.

when I run the update all I get in the database is the file extension

Can someone explain where I'm going wrong..

file attached

when you add file uplaod to your page, a new binding group is created:

WA Uploaded Files(Name of File Field)

this binding group contains a binding name d Server File Name.


you need to edit the update behavior to use the Server File binding for the file column.

Hi Jason,

I have tried this and still get the same results.

I'll need to troubleshoot directly, see the private message section.

Hi Jason,

I've found out where I was going wrong.

I omitted the [FileName] from the file field in the upload files bindings

Thanks

ok, glad to hear it is working.

I am really pulling my hair our with uploading files.

I have followed all the rules and cannot work out why my files will not upload.

can you please take a look at the attached file and let me know where I am going wrong.

everything updates to the database but nothing is saved for the file name or as documents on the server

Thanks you.

the encoding type for the form uses application/x-www-form-urlencoded

enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"


for file upload to work, the encoding type must be set to multipart/form-data

enctype="multipart/form-data"

thanks Jason not sure where that code came from..

you're welcome.
