import cgi

form = cgi.FieldStorage() This gives you an empty "FieldStorage"

fileitem = form["userTABPIX1"] In it, "userTABPIX1" is unknown.

fname = tempfile.mktemp() fp=open(fname,'w') fp.write(fileitem.file.read()) fp.close() Give your external method either the first argument "self" or an argument "REQUEST".

In the first case, you can use "REQUEST=self.REQUEST" to get the REQUEST object. In the second case, you use REQUEST directly. "REQUEST.form" contains the form variables of the REQUEST. Dieter
