ok, i saw this before and did a search on my archieved emails, you might
want to try using TRIM()... here is the email msg i am refering to:
----------------------------------------------------------------
The answer is:
Mac IE sends some bytes in a blank file field. So to get around this I
needed to create another field which onChange of the file field takes the
name of the field to be uploaded. If nothing is uploaded that field is
blank.
A true pain in the ass but it works.
The answer was provided by: Don Burnstein
Thanks for all the help

ps here is the code:
This is the action code:
<CFSET ief=#Trim(iefilename)#>
<CFIF #Ief# IS NOT "">
<cffile destination="c:\temp\cfmail\"
action="upload"
filefield="filename"
nameconflict="overwrite">
<cfset tempfile='#file.serverfile#'>
</cfif>
Here is the form code:
<INPUT TYPE=FILE NAME="filename"
onchange="this.form.iefilename.value=this.value;">
<br>
<input type="hidden" name="iefilename"
onchange="this.value=this.form.filename.value;">
----------------------------------------------------------------
There was mention that Mac browsers add on a return charcter at the end of
the form field...
so, try the above and use TRIM() and see what ya get....
