As far as I know, I'm not sure you will be able to catch the exceeded file error before it is passed back to the client, so customising the error might be out of the question. Also, I doubt you would be able to perform any kind of action that would determine the entire size of the uploading file prior to the upload being completed - if there was a way to catch this, then you would be able to redirect to an error page at the beginning of the upload, thus meaning that there would be no time wasted on the user's behalf. :) Cheers, Nicky W.. -[ pioneer@dac.org ]-
