<input> file

[Guest]

I have a control on a page in .net 2.0:

<input id="AddReport" type="file" name="AddReport" runat="server" />

which I use to get the path, etc. of a file. I then have a button:

<asp:Button ID="btnInsertTab8" runat="server" Text="Add Report" />

that when clicked takes the file data and moves the file to where I want it.
This has all been working fine for months. Recently there was an issue with
uploading one file, where when I select that file through input control, it
would not upload as usual. I ran a debug on this, and for that file, it
appears to never post back (the form load event is never triggered). The
only difference I could see on this file was that it was much larger than
normal (4 megabytes). I tried it with smaller files, and those still work
fine. I tried it with other large files, and those don't work either. It
seems strange that the file size should have any effect, as all I am getting
is the file name and path through the control. Is there any data on this
that can help me resolve it?

Thanks.

4Mb is the default maximum file size permitted for upload by ASP.NET -
you'll need to modify this:
