You upload a file to a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 site, and the custom content type that you selected from the New menu is not used
;
Consider the following scenario. In a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 site, you create multiple custom content types, and you add these custom content types to a document library. Then, you change the document library setting to use the custom content type as the content type for the document library. After you make the change, you can select the custom content type from the
New menu, upload the file, and fill in the selected custom content type fields. In this scenario, if you upload the same file that you chose previously, the custom content type that you select from the
New menu is not used. Instead, the built-in content type of "Document" is used.
To resolve this issue, apply the following update:

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
