The INPUT='FILE' is an HTML variable type as textbox but its purpose is to browse for a file. If you put it on a web page it will place a textbox with a Browse button. There the user can type the file name with path or click the button and browse his computer for a file.

From VFP you can populate HTML textboxes without much problem thru the field's .VALUE property in the webcontrol. The problem here is that the .Value property fot this type of field is read-only for security reasons, so you cannot access it. I am trying to figure out a way to populate that field in the HTML code and the only way I can see how is thru Cut-and-Paste. The thing is that I can populate what I want to paste with the _cliptext but I don't know how to paste that information. I found in VFP documentation the _edpaste function as part of th VFP APIs but I don't understand how to use it. Basically what I need is some guidance using this _edpaste function or something else that will accomplish a paste function.


TIA,

Carlos
