I know this, not this new to CGI... ;))))) The only thing I thought/hoped was that maybe there's a way to recieve the file size information before upping the entire file. Like with email or news, where I can download headers seperated from the message body... But as far as I can see, this is not possible. Sad but true ;) So I have to trust my visitors ;) Cheers, Kiko -- It's not a bug, it's a feature. christoph starkmann mailto:kiko@nfq.de http://www.gruppe-69.com/ ICQ: 100601600 --
