how to calculate the length in chars of a binary file?

[Chipp Walters]

Thanks Geoff. I'll try it.

I was putting it in a variable to send it up to the server, but then putting
it in a field to check the length. Hope this works.

You can't put a binary file into a field; that automatically makes it text.
Instead, keep it in a variable. Then I think the length function should tell
you how big it is (probably the number of characters would work as well).
