i can validate my form, but is there any way of validating a file field so that the end user attaches a photograph ?
thanks

What are you using to upload the file?

ASP, SQL2005, DW8 VBScript, Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio 2008

I think the question posed was asking if you are using a pre-made or custom file upload script and what language the form is in (ie: PHP, ASP).

Client-side? Check to see if the field is empty.
Server-side? Check to see if the file has uploaded successfully, and if it
had the proper extension.

hi - this is a standard .html file adapted from a hot dreamweaver mail to script
cheers

What type of validation are you wanting to perform? If the user selects a file
using the browse dialog, and you are using a server side uploading script with
your form processing, then the file will be uploaded. What do you need to
validate?

Huh? If you are uploading files, then you need to use a server side script -
not a .html file. Why don't you start over again and explain what you already
have and what you are trying to do.
