Answering my own mail here. It was useful to strip out all extraneous code. Found two basic problems (they're always basic aren't they). One, I had referred to a CFFILE diagnostic variable before the actual CFFILE function was performed. Two, I had tried to include the file name in the DESTINATION portion of CFFILE; I was thinking to literally. Thanks for your help!
