My understanding is that using the FILE form element to allow a file upload
is limited to one unique file per page. Is that correct?
Any thoughts on how best to design an interface to allow multiple uploads?
I have a database record that will link from 2 to 4 files that have been
uploaded.
When entering a new record, I'd like for them to be able to upload the files
as well. For now, My thinking is that I'd wrap each upload field in a panel.
They'd upload the first document, postback, add the data to the DB, and then
show the second panel. Sort of a 'wizard' interface.
Any other suggestions on how best to do this?

You are correct that the standard File control allows only one file to be
specified for upload.
If you need to upload 2 to 4 files, then the simplest solution is to have 2
to 4 File controls on the page.
There are fancier options, but they generally require thick clients. Here
are some 3rd party options that may help you out: http://fileup.softartisans.com/fileup-231.aspx http://fileup.softartisans.com/fileup-131.aspx

As far as I know, you can have any number of FILE form elements on the
page..give it a try :)

Oh. Duh. Yea, you might be right. I was thinking one file per page but
really should have been thinking one file per FILE form element. ;o)
