>what type of files they are ??
What sort of things are you allowing users to upload? Mac files can be anything
- on the mac they store information about what the file is in a separate "fork"
or file along with the main file. Mac users quite often do not use file
extensions. Many Mac files will be destroyed and unusable when uploading if they
are not first encoded into a binary stream by an application like Aladdin
dropstuff (a mac app).
If the files are data files like word files or images, the files will work OK. I
have an application that allows users to upload jpeg images - in this case I use
<CFFILE> to generate a file extension as part of the file name. Perhaps you
could force mac users to select the type of file from a list (jpeg, word file,
pdf etc) before allowing them to upload?
If you need more help with this, I have done much work with Macs/CF so just
contact me directly.
