The idea was that the user uploads a file and I insert details about the file into the mysql table and rename the file using the generated id.
so if the next primary key is 4 I generate the file id CR-004 and rename the uploaded file to CR-004 whilst also storing CR-004 in the table. Thanks for your ideas so far - very useful! How do you get to know about all these useful functions? Cheers Matt ----- Original Message ----- From: "John W.
