1) you have 2 form fields - one hidden field and one file field - with same name. if you cfdump your form on your action page you will see that form.movie_picture has a value something like "oldfilename, " - a comma-delimited list. thus it will not be empty, and your action page will try to run the file upload code. give your hiden field a different name, like old_picture or something. 2) there is no need to use those # inside cfset and cfif. it is a bad practice. 4) you should use CFFILE instead of FILE to access the results of CFFILE actions. FILE reference has been deprecated a long time ago... 3) what exactly are you doing with this line: <CFSET #Form.movie_picture#=#File.ServerFile#> ? and why? there will be no need for this if you have your fields named uniquely.
