Just use the form variable directly (although this could be dangerous from a
security perspective as the formfield could be maliciously modified). Thus:
<CFFILE ACTION= "UPLOAD"
FILEFIELD = "UploadFile"
DESTINATION = "D:\#Form.DocType#\"
NAMECONFLICT = "MakeUnique">
Alternatively, for the more security conscious:
<cfswitch expression="#Form.DocType#">
<cfcase value="WINS">
<cfset destination="d:\wins\">
</cfcase>
<cfcase value="PROC">
<cfset destination="d:\proc\">
</cfcase>
<cfdefaultcase>
<cfset destination="">
</cfdefaultcase>
</cfswitch>
<cfif Len(variables.destination)>
<CFFILE ACTION= "UPLOAD"
FILEFIELD = "UploadFile"
DESTINATION = "D:\#variables.destination#\"
NAMECONFLICT = "MakeUnique">
<cfelse>
INVALID DESTINATION ATTRIBUTE
<cfabort>
</cfif>
