I finally found the problem. No it was not .htaccess. It was file upload.
I had this bit of code in there as part of the form:
{exp:file_upload:upload_form form_name="entryform" destination="News Articles" field_name="article-1" return="popups/file_upload_placement"}
<input type='file' name="field_id_140" id="field_id_140" /></p>
<input type='submit' value='Upload' />
{/exp:file_upload:upload_form}And it was the field_name that was incorrect. I apologize for taking up so much of your time. But also thank you for your diligence.
