This question comes up here occasionally. Here's what I said last time: This isn't a Django issue. It's a standard property of browsers: you can't set an initial value for file input fields. This is a security measure, to stop malicious pages uploading files from your hard drive without your explicit instruction. There isn't really any way round it, except to do something extremely complicated like GMail does and upload the file in the background while the user fills in the form, then replace the file field with a reference to the uploaded version of the file. -- DR. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
