Right. If CF could read files on a users machine, that would be a major
security risk. CF cannot read data from the clients machine. The client has
to upload the file to server. Period. Unless you use some funky Java or
signed JavaScript, but you don't want to do that.
Oh, I'm sorry - forget all of the above. It's 100% wrong. Are you simply
asking how to write to a dynamic file? Did you try <CFFILE ACTION="Write"
FILE="c:\blahblah\#username#" OUTPUT="#userfile#">
