Hello, I’m new to the forms API and hoping for some advice. I am creating a multistep form in 5.3. The form uses drupal_execute to generate new CCK nodes. The basic form is working, but I cannot figure out how to make drupal_execute attach files to the new nodes as it creates them.

I would like to simply pass a form value to the CCK node form (through drupal_execute) along with the other necessary fields. E.g. something along the lines of

$values['file']['field_object_file_upload'][0] = $form_values[‘my_form_file_upload_field’];

Solutions involving either upload module or a CCK file field would be fine.

Does anyone have advice?  (I hope this is an appropriate question for the “development” list. Based on the descriptions at lists.drupal.org  that seems to be the case; if not, please let me know where I should post it.) Thanks for your help!
