request.vars.file1 is a cgi.FieldStorage object. The original filename is therefore in request.vars.file1.filename. request.vars.file1.file is a temporary file on the filesystem, and it does not contain the original filename (instead, it has a temporary filename with no extension). If you want to manually insert an uploaded file, you should pass the cgi.FieldStorage object to the .insert() or .update() method rather than passing only the .file object from it. So, should be: db(db.mytable.id==24).update(file1=request.vars.file1) which is equivalent to calling: db(db.mytable.id==24).update(file1=db.mytable.file1.store(request.vars.file1 )) Anthony -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
