Hi Natalyne, You cannot programmatically set the 'value' of a 'file' input element. This limitation has been enforced as a basic security measure to prevent malicious websites to programmatically drop a physical path into the text-box part of the 'file' input element, and programmatically fire the submit button. This limitation protects web-users from the hijack of files on their hard-drives to the notorious web-servers.
