I did supply a file, just NOT a PDF format file which causes
ValidationError to be raised (yea, probably want to make sure that
wasn't the problem :-{}) When I don't supply a filename, I do get the
correct error message back in form.errors.
But you could be correct about the FileField's clean method. If I
detect a file isn't PDF format, I raise the exception so no filename is
passed back. Could it be that the FileField clean method is called
AFTER mine? I know my clean method is being called.
