Here's what I want to do.

I want to create a form that allows my client to find a photo on his computer and load it into the photos folder of his website.

Then I want the client to be able select that file name from a drop-down menu when he's filling out the description form for this new photo. So the file name will be sent to a database along with the description, title, etc., etc. of this item.

I'm using FP 2002 and I've built the two-part form. The first part loads the photo and returns to that same page. The second part is for inputting the rest of the record. Now how do I populate a pull-down menu with file names from a particular directory and then do I have to do anything unusual to send that filename to the database as the photo entry?
