When I upload a file with a filename containing special characters the link from the submissions form isn't working
example: uploading 'cöordinator.doc' results in a file called 'coördinator.doc', but the link still points to 'cöordinator.doc'

Files using the regular character set are working fine, any ideas?

Sounds like Webform needs to do some cleanup on the uploaded file names. Have you already installed the transliterate module on your site? It's purpose is to cleanup non-ASCII characters when necessary. Webform already does this kind of cleanup on the names of labels, but clearly it should do it on file uploads as well, as many webservers don't like having non-ASCII characters in their file names. What web server software (Apache, IIS) and OS are you running?

Running on IIS 6, I'll have a look at the transliterate module and let you know if it solves my problems

Ah fantastic. Transliterate must to some kind of trick to intercept all uploaded files (since it works with upload.module too). Glad that worked out.
