Data assist

I managed to successfully add images to a file, but when I update the file and try to replace the image gets stopped. The field images are blank and unless I insert the images again, the field containing the previous images is blank (it overrides the previous pictures with blank). Could you please tell me how to replace the information on this file containing images without having to insert the images again?

Set the default value in the upload server behavior to the current value from the recordset.

Go to the WA Upload Files server behavior and double click it. On the second step of the wizard, click on the lightning bolt icon next to the Default file field and select the filename from the recordset. This should specify the default value if nothing is uploaded.

same problem

This is the same problem I have. I have set the default value to the value of the image field from the recordset, yet whenever I upload and nothing is set in the file field, it overwrites the existing image with nothing.
Here is the code:
<?php
WA_DFP_SetupUploadStatusStruct("WA_UploadResult1");
if(isset($_POST["Update_x"])){
WA_DFP_UploadFile("WA_UploadResult1", "newhousepic", "".$row_WADAHOUSE['housepic'] ."", "".$WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["serverDirectory"] ."/images/HOUSEPICS/", "".((isset($_POST["WADAUpdateRecordID"]))?$_POST["WADAUpdateRecordID"]:"") ."".$WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["fileExtension"] ."", "0", "".((isset($_POST["WADAUpdateRecordID"]))?$_POST["WADAUpdateRecordID"]:"") ."".$WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["fileExtension"] ."", "300", "true", "500", "500");
}
?>
Please help?

Got it!

Nevermind, it works with by setting the default value to the hidden field that contains the recordset, not the value directly from the recordset.
Here is the code:
<?php
WA_DFP_SetupUploadStatusStruct("WA_UploadResult1");
if(isset($_POST["Update_x"])){
WA_DFP_UploadFile("WA_UploadResult1", "newhousepic", "".((isset($_POST["housepic"]))?$_POST["housepic"]:"") ."", "".$WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["serverDirectory"] ."/images/HOUSEPICS/", "".((isset($_POST["WADAUpdateRecordID"]))?$_POST["WADAUpdateRecordID"]:"") ."".$WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["fileExtension"] ."", "0", "".((isset($_POST["WADAUpdateRecordID"]))?$_POST["WADAUpdateRecordID"]:"") ."".$WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["fileExtension"] ."", "300", "true", "500", "500");
}
?>
