Kevin, I'd suggest treating images as files so you can manage their properties, as pointed our by Dieter. Then your DTML will look something like: <dtml-call expr="manage_addFile(id='', file=form_file, title=form_title)"> <dtml-call expr="_.getitem(getBasename(file.filename),1).manage_addProperty('submitted_ by', form_submitted_by, 'string')"> Form_file, form_title, and form_submittted_by are from your upload form. getBasename() is an external Python method that takes full path-filenames passed by IE (/blah/blah/myfile.ext) and trims them down to myfile.ext. Netscape and Mozilla don't have this problem since they correctly pass just the simple filename when they say they do. # getBasename(filename) import re def getBasename(filename): return re.split( r"[/|\\]" , filename )[:1] (The above is from memory but its close--I can check the sourcecode at work on Monday if its giving you problems. It splits on / or \ depending on the client op sys and returns the last element in the list.) Karl
