Hi Lois,
Thanks for getting back with me. The database is set up to revalidate records after modifications, but if they don't do anything other than delete their pictures, then it doesn't go back for re validation.
The file upload validation problem doesn't seem like it would help with this problem.
I don't know if maybe I missed something in the sub modify routine or not. Here's the sub:

sub modify_record {
# --------------------------------------------------------
# This routine does the actual modification of a record. It expects
# to find in %in a record that is already in the database, and will
# rewrite the database with the new entry. First it checks to make
# sure that the modified record is ok with validate record.
# It then goes through the database looking for the right record to
# modify, if found, it prints out the modified record, and returns
# the user to a success page. Otherwise the user is returned to an error
# page with a reason why.

my ($status, $line, @lines, @data, $output, $found, %rec, $key, $num_files, @files, $file);

if ($auth_modify_own and !$per_admin) {
%rec = &get_record($in{$db_key});
unless ($rec{$db_cols[$auth_user_field]} eq $db_userid) {
&html_modify_failure("You are not authorized to modify this record");
return;
}
}
foreach $key (keys %in) {
if ($in{$key} eq 'delete') {
unlink "$SAVE_DIRECTORY/$in{$db_key}/$key";
}
}
$num_files=0;
if (-e "$SAVE_DIRECTORY/$in{$db_key}") {
opendir (GRAPHIC, "$SAVE_DIRECTORY/$in{$db_key}") or &cgierr("unable to open directory: $SAVE_DIRECTORY/$rec{$db_key}. Reason: $!");

closedir (GRAPHIC);

}
