Hoping someone can point me in the right direction on this. (I'll post my eventual solution in return.) I've got an anonymous submission form for a contest entry, and after the user submits it, I want to redirect to a form that will allow him to upload a file to a newly created private directory, based on information from the first form. So:
1) user submits form #1, including project name and other info
2) directory is created for his project
3) he is redirected to an upload form, which uploads to his directory
I know this is probably some combination of the "additional processing" and "redirect URL" fields, but I'm a little weak on the details. Also, the redirect URL needs to be re-usable, in the event that he wants to come back and upload later. (So the directory identifier should appear in the URL.)

Hmmm... generally, I think what you're trying to accomplish is outside the scope of Webform. If this is being used a central feature of your site, I'd discourage you from using Webform. It sounds like this could be a better CCK implementation, or an entirely custom solution.

Anyway, I did get the first part figured out... I discovered elsewhere the bit where webform passes the sid to the confirmation page via "?sid=xxx" So in my confirmation page, I've got code like this:
<?phpinclude_once(drupal_get_path('module', 'webform') .'/webform_submissions.inc');
$sid = $_GET['sid'];
$submission = webform_get_submission(320, $sid);
$project = $submission['data'][3]['value'][0];
?>
Which at least allows me to grab information from the project submission. I'm guessing it's possible to switch out the savelocation of the file component somehow. I know I can get the webform and paste it into my confirmation page like this:
<?php$node = node_load(320);
print node_view($node);
?>
...but I'm unclear as to how exactly to drill down to the file component and its savelocation. I guess my forms API knowledge is a little weak in general. Another possibility that occurred to me would be to allow the upload form write the file to a generic location, then attempt to move it with "additional processing"... but that seems less clean somehow.

Closing after lack of activity.
