 ???Hello guys out there....I hope someone would be able to fix this for me....tnx...I used my joomla+civicrm to create a field under administer>custom data which its data type and field type was "file"...which is for uploading of files and attacments...I added it to a profile, and linked it up with a membership registration page. I filled the fields for the registration page but it keeps returning the error below


 Please correct the following errors in the form fields below:

    * Files is a required field.

Please can someone help me fix it

Thanks a lot for replying my post...
Please note that I filled the "file" field but it still returns the message I posted earlier....I dont want to remove the field because its a requirement by my client for the site I am building. Though I have tried what you asked me to do, but when I filled the registration form, it did not store the file that I uploaded....Please if there is a more efficient way of uploading files/attachments please I wont mind if you let me know.
Thanks a lot.
