perhaps i'm oversimplifying, but can't you use the 

ACCEPT="mime_type/file_type"

attribute of CFFILE in the upload?

Subject: Advanced CFCATCH Exception Types


I would like to trap a CFFILE error using CFTRY/CFCATCH if the user
submits 
a bad file type. I only want to allow them to upload .gif files.

I can use the CFCATCH TYPE="Any" to trap it, but I was hoping that I
could 
trap specifically for a bad file type.

I noticed that there are a whole slew of "advanced" exception types
starting 
with COM.* listed in the documentation, but I can't find one for a bad
file 
type.

Can one of those advanced types or a regular type be used other than
"Any"?

Thanks,
Dave.
