Thanks again for doing this. I'll have to grab the latest trunk and
check it out. Will let you know.
One other thing, please. I emailed you an example where the input is a
field of type text. Once uploaded, the form.vars.text_in field is
written to a file in the "somewhere" folder. The filename of this file
was then inserted into the db.table.field.filename, where Field
('filename','upload'). When accessing this field with the download
function, however, the action failed. Is there some special method
required to do this -- read text in, write to a file, and make it
behave exactly as if the file had been uploaded using a field of type
upload?
