That was the issue, I added logic to test for the existance of a path in a field, if it's a path it doesn't get trimmed - now it works!

If so, trimming the upload field will screw it up. I have had problems with this before. You could call the FormURL2attributes tag in application.cfm, and start referencing attributes instead of form for your non-file form fields. That would give you the benefit of automatically trimming the fields, and still not screw things up on a file upload. --------------------------------------- Ben Morris Web Site Developer American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO (202) 639-6448 www.afge.org >>> "Joshua Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 12/03/01 03:37PM >>> I sent this message, but it was returned - the mailserver said I had no SUBJECT (I did though). Ok, this is bizarre: I'm uploading a file via CFFILE and the code works flawlessly - until you get onto a MAC (IE5) I routinely get the error "The form field specified in the CFFILE tag (CLOGO) does not contain an uploaded file..." I've remedied the trailing whitespace character so that's not the issue (I've got a template we use to trim up all MAC IE form uploads if anyone is interested) - what's happening is (when I output the CLOGO variable anyway) that all the "\" characters are stripped out of the path, so the file to upload appears to be: "E:WINNTTEMPACF123.gif" instead of "E:\WINNT\TEMP\ACF123.gif" Has anyone else experienced this? Is this an anomaly or is this a known issue with CF and MAC or is it an IE bug? Any help greatly appreciated. I guess I could always stick the "\" back into the path based on WINNT and TEMP, but that seems like a pretty shaky fix.
