I don't think this will work in my case... The SW needs to rename the files before FTPing them to the server. Can I make my Shockwave see the file name selected with the "HTML command that lets you display a file upload dialog box"? I don't use a cgi script, but maybe I could use the data base in this way: 1. Display file select dialog box on the home page 2. Send file name to the data base (instead of cgi script) 3. Make SW ask data base for new file names to upload 4. Make SW rename & upload the file to a folder on the server Although it would be a lot easier to make the SW put up a file selector. Or to make the HTML file selector communicate file names to Shockwave directly. -A.
