FYI, crud.create() automatically handles the form processing, so you do not need to do form.accepts() when using Crud (only when using FORM or SQLFORM directly). > Query - How do I serialize the view to show a link to files attached. > For example in above code, it should show me the file name (original > would be good or a general name like say - FILE ) as hyperlink to > download the same.

Alternatively, you can manually decode it from the encoded filename, which is of the form table.field.[16 char uuid].[b16encoded filename].[extension]. To create a link, you can use the download() function (or if you have uploaded to the static folder, you can directly link to the file). There are ways to automatically link to files in update/view forms -- see http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/7#SQLFORM-and-uploads, http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/3#An-image-blog.
