No, it isn't possible to do what you're trying to do. When you upload a file
from an HTML form, you have to deal with that file in the action page; you
can't pass it as a variable to the next page. You'll need to use CFFILE in
your "preview" page, then if you need to change or delete the file, you can
do that in the "save" page.
