Thanks much for the help. I finally solved it this way:
I was actually using 2 CFFILE statements to accomplish the entire
action: first one to upload the file, and second one to rename the
file with the original file extension. Ahead of the first CFFILE I
was using some CFSET statements to set the path and a recreated
filename. I changed the method a bit, and saved the entire
filenaming logic for the second CFFILE, instead of just adding the
file extension with it. I also hard-coded all of the path info in
both CFFILEs that wasn't generated dynamically.
And you're right, that wasn't the only thing in the form-- I was
simplifying for readability. I also didn't include the second CFFILE
for the same reason-- the error indicated everything was stopping at
the first.
Thanks again for taking the time to help!
