The weird thing is that without doing any client side verification
(Javascript), there's no way of stopping the file upload, AFAIK.
It seems to me that CF sees that MacIE has sent a file along, which is saves
as a tmp file, & returns the tmp file in the form field.
So even if the field is empty (no file selected), after it gets to the
server the file field is replaced with something like "c:\winnt\ACFD93.tmp".
Seems that CF saves the file uploaded, sets the field to the name of the
uploaded file & then uses CFFILE to copy the file to the right place &
handle the name conflicts etc.
So yeah, anymore suggestions?

Why not check the form field for the existance of a \
even if the form field is not "" is shouldn't contain a \
unless a file has been selected
In addition check that the form field length is greater than 5
i.e valid 3 letter extenstion + the . + at least one \
