fields

The user must indicate the date and the sequence number of the file. This is important because files with the same date cannot be uploaded unless the

sequence number changes. The sequence number must also be in sequential order. (Example: a file with a date of 09/09/2008 sequence #3 will not upload after one that is dated 09/09/2008 sequence #1. There would need to be a file

dated 09/09/2008 with sequence #2 in order to upload.)
