So if he uploaded a file called headshotFormalPIC Headshot12-13-45.jpg., it will be saved as johnbrown.jpg<br /> Maybe use the date file is uploaded. The date 20131126-1. and then have all subsequent uploads have that filename +1 = 20131126-2<br /> I use the UNIX timestamp a lot in my forms as it allows unique records and also when SORTED, will be done correctly.<br /> Could even have the form entry number as a choice. This way it matches the form entry data.</p> <p>Truly Machform has allowed me to do so many more things and be on top of my game. This little enhancement will make my work even better. I have to use a 3rd party app that allows me to change the picture file names to anththing I want...biut it takes about 20 minutes everytime I do it and I do it 2-4 times a day.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
