Your form element should be:

The ':file' is necessary to marshal the file into a file object. I was going on the assumption that you had done that otherwise as you've discovered it will turn it into a string, which you may or may not want.
Ok, I have changed my form element to what you suggested. These are the results I am getting with various <dtml-call> tags in the VProduct_add method (called after filling in VProduct_addForm): * <dtml-call "REQUEST['file'].read ()"> Error Type: TypeError Error Value: argument file was ommitted I guess this is because no field in the form is named 'file'. So I try: * <dtml-call "REQUEST['file_name'].read ()"> ..and I get the same error. I even tried to name="file:file" in the form element, and using REQUEST['file'].read () in the call, but then I get: Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: 'string' object has no attribute 'read' which I guess means that it now has the 'file' variable, but it is still a string. Any other pointers, or references to where I can read more about the file stuff? Thanks in advance, Marius Kjeldahl
