Yep...looks like you're absolutely right...resubmission deletes the value from the field...bummer...I undestand the security risk, but this is a secured area, I'm the only programmer, so the risk is practically non-existent.
Seems to me the choice to take the risk should be mine...

This would be a huge security risk, because we bad programmers could so easily trick users to load any old file we wanted. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:241310 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
