Karl, I'll have to play with "revGoURL" because while I -will- know the path of the user generated file, that will have to suffice as it is the user who will actually name the file. It looks like the "%20" in place of a space char is the usual character swapping one has to do when using URLs. However, this appears to be the solution so I'll try it.
