If you want the path on the client machine, no can do. Browsers don't share this as it is a privacy/security issue. The client filesystem is opaque to the server. You can ask the client to enter the value themselves as an explicit field on your form, but they may choose not to, especially if they are concerned about the privacy/security issue. /dps -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
