Actually, yes, I am treating it like a variable. I'm not saving the file to
the server, but instead am just grabbing the string contained in it. No need
to save the file itself after I have the contents. Our clients have a lot of
legacy files that have been uploaded in the client/server app in times past,
so we need to also allow for file uploads, so to speak, rather than just
having a form field to cut and paste strings into.
Thanks,
