I was trying to keep the filename out of the generated form since I want it set "automatically" in the process of uploading the document. Is there a better way to accomplish that?

I had to use the much uglier: if request.vars.upload!=None and request.vars.upload!='': -- Joe On Friday, December 28, 2012 3:48:26 PM UTC-8, Anthony wrote: > > I see.
