Well, I'm not sure I understand what the problem is. Both the attachment and your data are being inserted on form submit, as per the code you posted. And the attachment is inserted before your custom data. So there is no problem there. Get the ID from the $newupload variable:

>    'ground'  => $_POST['ground'],
>    'date'    => $_POST['date'],
> 'file' => $_FILES['file'],
> ));
>        }
>    }
