Hi Ted, With the caveat that I don’t use ERAttachment in a D2W setting...

I think you might be barking up the wrong tree. ERAttachment is really designed to represent a single file. (For example, the ERAttachment EO itself has attributes like size, thumbnail, width, height, mimeType.) You might be able to beat it into your use case, but there’s probably a better way of doing it. > how can i unzip this file after the uploads succeeds? As a separate question, you can certainly do this. But you’d need to forget about using a component that automatically creates an ERAttachment, and use one of the regular upload components, like AjaxFlexibleFileUpload. You can then grab the InputStream provided by that component and do whatever you like with it. You can even later create ERAttachments from your post-processed files. So, the summary is: I don’t think you’re going to win by trying to make an ERAttachment point to a filesystem directory, but everything else you’re talking about is completely possible. -- Paul Hoadley http://logicsquad.net/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/logic-squad/
