The file list holds images and drawings, which need descriptions in another field in order to be selected. There are thousands of files and the files have strange naming conventions. Best I can figure, I need a field with paths and a field with descriptions, so I can call them up and display them in the page. I tried using CFDIRECTORY, but describing the files is the main thing.
