Hey Bob,
I have had the same issue. You have to specify in the web.config file what
the max file size would be. If you specify it in the code what the file size
limit is it will get over written by the default value. To get around that
you have to put this tag in the web.config file. Anywhere should be good, as
long as it is within the <system.web> tags.
<httpRuntime
    maxRequestLength="2934883" 'I believe this is in bytes
    executionTimeout="3600" 'in seconds, if the files are going
to be big I would suggest to put a huge value for timeout.
This should work. Let me know if it doesn't. I will look it up for you.
