As an optional step, on really paranoid systems, I run a virus scan over the upload (with clamav, usually). <troll> I'm not exactly sure what all the fuss is about protecting IE users from malicious code - if they care then they shouldn't be using IE, and if they don't care they shouldn't be on the internet. </troll> Tim's efforts do seem to be a bit of overkill... -- Peter Ford phone: 01580 893333 Developer fax: 01580 893399 Justcroft International Ltd., Staplehurst, Kent
