texte = Hi Wendell,Thank you so much for the helping, Upload seems to do exactly what we need... Too bad we will have to spend an additional $125.00 for it, considering we already have SiteEdit Pro installed on that server, but I am happy I will get this to work after all. I do have one follow up questions though, if it is not too much trouble.1. What method are you using to have WebCat rename the image file. I mean do you use the Upload to pass on the image name as a variable, and then do a [MOVEFILE] in Webcatalog, perhaps [COPYFILE]? Or I am barking up the wrong tree here? Thanks, JoseWendell B.

Hi Wendell,Thank you so much for the helping, Upload seems to do exactly what we need... Too bad we will have to spend an additional $125.00 for it, considering we already have SiteEdit Pro installed on that server, but I am happy I will get this to work after all.
