I noticed that I am missing upload=URL('download') in my SQLFORM.factory,
so I added that in there but it's still not working.I double checked the image name and you were right, I don't know how I must have mistakenly deleted that part but it was indeed "[table_name].[field_name].[rand_string]" I can't think of why else this is not working...I am following the web2py book verbatim...
