Form update - file upload - overwriting

Hey Jason,

Been trying to figure this one out along with a few other issues I was having. Funny thing is that I already have another section on the site working properly but just can't get this section to do what it's supposed to..

Basically I have an upload page with several files. The insert records work now and the files get uploaded to the correct folders. No problem there. The issue is if sya out of the 9 or so files I only need to replace one of them. i chose the file and hit the update button, it then wipes out the names of all the others that were not uploaded again.

I've gone through this tutorial several times ...
http://www.webassist.com/tutorials/Add-file-fields-to-Data-Bridge-insert-update-pages
But I must be missing something.

On this tutorial it states to point the "default file" in the upload to the value of the hidden field. I've tried it there but I know in a previous issue i was having you mentioned not to put it in the default file bu tin the File. I tried both ways.

I also found this thread stating to look at the validation and choose "Allow Blank" and it points to find the details in the file upload tutorial. I couldn't find this point in any of the upload tutorials.

So basically all I want to happen in the update page that if a new file is needed only that field get updated. The other simply stay the same.

Any ideas?

for each of the hidden form elements that you add, you need to bind there values to the corresponding field from the WADAadtirepics recordset.

in the file upload behavior, you have bound the File Name setting to the hidden form elements. set the File Name to [FileName]

Bind the Default file setting t the hidden form elements.

OK, i had the hidden form element bound to the right place when i completed the tutorial however I never "unbound" the original binding code created by dataassist. ... so is it safe to say that perhaps the validation code in the original field made it fail?

so the original ...
value="<?php echo((isset($_GET["invalid"])?ValidatedField("Tireupdate","Tlogo"):"".$row_WADAadtirepics["Tlogo"]."")); ?>"
---- should simply have been ...
value="<?php echo $row_WADAadtirepics['Tlogo']; ?>"

Not sure if it would be a good idea to change this once section to suggest it or not ...
Step 1: Creating the file field

Use the following instructions for creating this field for your Update page.
1.From the Dreamweaver Files panel, open your Data Bridge Update page.
2.Select the field you want to replace with a file upload field.
3.On your keyboard, press Ctrl (Cmd) T.
This displays the Quick Tag Editor.
4.Change <input type="text"> to <input type="hidden">.
4a. --- Bind the hidden field to the WADA - update recordset corresponding fields. You may have to unbind your hidden field if validations were originally inserted.
5.Place your cursor beside the hidden form field icon.
6.Choose the File field option from Forms category of the Insert bar.

it all works great now Jason.

As always thanks for your help.
