Dave, Thanks for the response.
Does form.HiddenName.value now equal the file name? and P_Image contain the file contents to use in the File Action?

I had to use javascript to get around it. On the page with the form, use a hidden input. When the user submits the form, copy the P_Image field to the hidden field. Something like this... <script language="javascript"> <!-- function CopyFileName(form) { form.HiddenName.value = form.P_Image.value; } // --> </script> <FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" METHOD="POST" ACTION="<@CGI><@APPFILE>?_function=insert&<@UserReferenceArgument>" onSubmit="CopyFileName(this)"> <INPUT TYPE=FILE SIZE=34 NAME="P_Image" ACCEPT="IMAGE/*"> <INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="HiddenName"> Then before you write the file, you need to <@TOKENIZE> <@ARG HiddenName>. Soemthing like this... <@ASSIGN NAME='Name' VALUE='<@TOKENIZE VALUE="<@ARG HiddenName>" CHARS="\">' SCOPE='local'> Then specify the correct column... File name equals: @@local$Name[1,<@NUMCOLS ARRAY="@@local$Name">] Hope this helps!
