Now why would you "check to see if the file is present before I do the CFFILE statement"??
If you're uploading there is no reason to check your server for the file...it hasn't been uploaded and therefore does not exist ;-)
There is nothing special to do with the form data (other than having the correct enctype which you do). Post the form to whatever file you want. In the file call CFFILE and make sure that you pass it the name of the form field that holds the location of the file on the client's computer AND an absolute path (i.e. c:\myimagedir\) on the server to the directory to save the file to. You can also use the nameconflict attribute of the CFFILE tag to ensure that the file will get renamed if another file already exists with the same name.
<cffile
action=""
filefield="txtMsgFile"
destination="c:\myimagedir\
nameconflict="MAKEUNIQUE">

Subject: Re: CFFILE and Form data
Sorry that I don't have time to go into detail, but did you know about
the following variables? They are specific to <CFFILE>, and I suspect
your answer lies within...
File.AttemptedServerFile
File.ClientDirectory
File.ClientFile
File.ClientFileExt
File.ClientFileName
File.ContentSubType
File.ContentType
File.DateLastAccessed
File.FileExisted
File.FileSize
File.FileWasAppended
File.FileWasOverwritten
File.FileWasRenamed
File.FileWasSaved
File.OldFileSize
File.ServerDirectory
File.ServerFile
File.ServerFileExt
File.ServerFileName
File.TimeCreated
File.TimeLastModified

I figured out that in order to do so I had to include the correct enctype in the form tag (enctype="multipart/form-data). Now the file extension is not being passed (i.e. "myfile.txt" becomes just "myfile") and so I am having difficulty trying to do verification on the destination file, because I do not know the complete filename. i.e.. <cfif FileExists("destpath")>
