<P>Yes, I found it strange as well. I would think that for such a MAJOR issue as this
one, I would have definitely heard about it before--and there DEFINITELY would have
been an article on it somewhere!</P>
<P>JFYI, for those of you who have asked--I am using CF 4.0.1 (on NT).</P>
<P>I agree fully with your analogy, Billy. I am hoping that there is more to this
story.</P>

<DIV></DIV>That seems a bit strange. I've seen no major announcement from Allaire,
<DIV></DIV>and this seems like a MAJOR issue.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>You could use a file upload COM object (the way you'd do it in ASP; go
<DIV></DIV>to any ASP site to find some). Built-in functionality is ColdFusion's
<DIV></DIV>strongest selling point; I really don't want to find out that I have to
<DIV></DIV>resort to COM objects (otherwise, I'd use ASP).
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>However, I personally find this unacceptable. File uploading is a major
<DIV></DIV>piece of ColdFusion functionality; fixing such a bug should be Priority
<DIV></DIV>1 for Allaire. We paid money for the product expecting it to work.
<DIV></DIV>This is a bit analogous to buying a new car, and finding out that the
<DIV></DIV>windows don't roll up. Response from the dealership would be, "Um,
<DIV></DIV>we're working on that. Just duct tape a trash bag to cover up your
<DIV></DIV>window."
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>I suspect that you may have been given incorrect information; if not, I
<DIV></DIV>would consider it extremely irresponsible of Allaire to not release this
<DIV></DIV>information sooner.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>I know there's some Allaire folks who monitor the list; could someone
<DIV></DIV>from Allaire please address this issue? Otherwise I suspect Allaire
<DIV></DIV>will have a few thousand (how many people subscribe to this list?)
<DIV></DIV>developers confused and/or misinformed and/or angry.

<DIV></DIV>> I spoke with an Allaire regional tech rep last week who told me in no
