Ok, I did my duty and searched as much as I can, can't seem to find a resolution to the problem I'm having.
 
.jpg and .gif files upload fine, other like .pdf and .doc generate the "The file uploaded is of the wrong type"
 
I have tried ALL of the different upload types (aspupload, dundas, etc..), no difference.
 
Multiple different files, no difference.
 
File extension list is fine, tried with and without "." in front of the extension.
 
I'm running 9.06
 
Suggestions?

In the Admin area go to Upload Settings and specify the files you wish to allow.

Did you see Image Types AND File Types?

Detailed update:

Through careful stepping, I have determined that it is the following section in function_upload.asp (lines 557-568) where blnExtensionOK is getting set to false
(I changed the code to set it to TRUE if there was disallowed html and pdf and word files would upload).
 
'If the file type is an image do some futher checking
   ElseIf strExtension <> ".gif" OR strExtension <> ".jpg" OR strExtension <> ".png" OR strExtension <> ".jpeg" OR strExtension <> ".jpe" OR strExtension <> ".tiff" OR strExtension <> ".bmp" Then
    'Loop through the array of disallowed HTML tags
    For lngLoopCounter = LBound(saryUnSafeHTMLtags) To UBound(saryUnSafeHTMLtags)
      
     'If the disallowed HTML is found remove it and start over
     If Instr(1, strTempFile,  saryUnSafeHTMLtags(lngLoopCounter), 1) <> 0 Then
      blnExtensionOK = False
    
     End If
    Next
   End If

With the False above changed to True, all file extensions will upload!
 
Obviously the False is not a typo, but I think the wrong type of files are being scanned in this section.
 
QUESTION:  The comment on this section of code implies it is doing extra checking if it is an image type, but then it only looks for files WITHOUT standard image extensions.
 
Should all the "<>" be "="  ??????

When you upload a PDF or DOC are you using the File Upload button? I suspect you are trying to upload a file as an image using the Insert Image button.

Thanks Nick, but you'd be wrong suspecting that.  Dig in the code, the parts I'm referencing are called no matter what type of upload is selected.
 
I need a Mod with experience with the code to answer this.

Apps4Me, You should upgrade to v9.07 or v9.08 as v9.06 had some issues with uploading images edited by ADOBE.
