If it were possible to set the value of a file field, then you would be able to force/trick users into uploading any file form their PC. Thus why it is not possible to do that.

You can't set the value of a file field? On a record edit form: <cfinput name="thumb" type="file" value="#EDITtestimonials.thumb#"> <input type="hidden" name="current_thumb" value="#thumb#" /> On submit, the hidden field is compared to the file field and if the two match, then the field in the DB isn't updated. If they don't match, then the user entered a new file, so the field is updated (after proper validation). So, the value attribute can't be a variable?
