Hi gang, I'm trying to set up a file upload for the first time. I get this error:
"Error attempting to save uploaded file to path 'C:\WEB\somewebsite.com\images\newsreviewsimages\teaserimages..' Access is denied. (error 5)" So I went back through the last 5000+ emails I have received from this group and I found this: > >>> Anyone ever seen this before while trying to upload with > >>> CFFile? > >>> > >>> ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// > >>> Error processing CFFILE > >>> > >>> Error attempting to save uploaded file to path > >>> 'C:\InetPub\wwwroot\myprojectsite.com\images\products..'

Any help would be appreciated. Michael Gribbin ______________________________________________________________________ Why Share?
