Put a <cfdump var="#form#"> at the top of the action to make sure the field
is even there. Then recheck your form tags, enctype, fieldnames etc...
I usually just use
<cfparam name="form.image_file" default="">
<cfif len(trim(form.image_file))>
<!--- try to upload the file --->
<cfelse>
<!--- don't --->
</cfif>

Subject: uploading an image
I'm trying to upload an image to a particular directory to use later.
I grabbed this code from a working form I made when I was new to CF
and I cleaned it up. Funny enough, now that it's cleaned up, it's
not working and I can't see why. It appears that it's saying that
the form field (form.image_file) never exists, whether I have
selected an image/file or not.
Here's the form field:
<strong>Image:</strong><br><input type="File" name="image_file" size="60">
which when submitted then goes to an INSERT page which has the
following image code:
<cfif NOT structKeyExists(form,'image_file')>
<cfset Form.image_file = "">
<cfelse>
<!--- check the CGI environment variable
Content_Length to make sure the file is less than 1 MB in size. --->
<CFIF Val(CGI.CONTENT_LENGTH) GT 1048576>
Please select another from the <a
href="javascript:history.go(-1);">spotlight form</a>.
<cfabort>
</CFIF>
<cfset
mainDir=GetDirectoryFromPath(ExpandPath("../../"))>
<cftry>
<cffile
action="upload"
filefield="image_file"
destination="#mainDir#uploads/spotlight/"
accept="image/jpeg,image/jpg,image/gif,image/pjpeg,image/jpe"
nameconflict="MakeUnique">
<cfcatch type="Any">
<cflocation
url="spotlight_entry.cfm?fileuploaderror=true&msg=#cfcatch.message#"
addtoken="No">
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
<cfset image_path = '#CFFILE.serverFileName#.#CFFILE.ServerFileExt#'>
</cfif>
<--- do an insert here --->
