How to limit number of uploaded files?

Can anyone suggest the best way to limit (to one) the number of attachments to a single node in Drupal 6? The core upload module doesn't seem to have a setting for that, unless I've missed it. After I upload a file, it gives me the "attach another file" dialog. For this content type (using the ad module, if that matter), I don't want users to be able to upload more than one file.

Yea, I haven't used the the actual upload module that comes with core in years. I automatically keep it disabled and add a filefield that I can completely control.

Just to close the loop, I ended up using the attachments module. The ad module, which was getting the uploaded files, uses the core upload module and I couldn't find an easy way to make it use filefield instead. Attachments works well, lets me set different limits for each content type. The only issue I ran into was finding the admin page, which was supposed to be linked from admin/settings/uploads (according to attachments.install) but wasn't. It's at admin/settings/uploads/extensions.
