A possible workaround
This

if request.vars.upload:
form.vars.filename = request.vars.upload.filename

My bad:
Assigning to a form.vars item before calling to .process() works
The issue is that the first code posted by Joe tests for the boolean value
of form.vars.upload (an instance of the file storage object) and that
object always evaluates to False, so:
if request.vars.update:

I was trying to keep the filename out of the generated form since I want it
set automatically in the process of uploading the document. Is there a
better way to accomplish that?
BTW, the test if request.vars.upload does not work. It returns False
even if the upload field has been set. I had
Setting writable to False is probably the best way to keep that field out
of the form -- that's why I suggested setting the default value of the
field instead. Does that not work?

Are you saying you want the name in the filename field to be encoded into
the string stored in the upload field so the file has the name in the
filename field upon download? If so, then try:
if request.vars.upload and request.vars.filename:
request.vars.upload.filename =

I want the opposite of this -- I want the actual text filename, not the
encoded one. The book example I followed did not work.

I see. I think the problem is that you have set the writable attribute of
the filename field to False. In that case, try setting the default value of
that field:
if request.vars.upload:
db.fileobject.filename.default = request.vars.upload.filename
form = SQLFORM(db.fileobject)
