Re: xforms:upload updating two parts of the model

Hi,

With all of this I'm uncertain about the right way of implementing this.
Soon I will begin the next phase of development and therefor I would really
appreciate if someone could give me some pointers in the right directions.
For that I thank you both.

I have published an blog post on what I'm doing so if your interested in the
XForms code you can check it our here

Thanks for all the help,
