Right, but I had asked "the text value of that input BEFORE you do any file actions on it?". Do you know if you can do that?
For instance, if I hit 'browse' on the form page, and selected C:\temp\test.txt, is there any variable on the action page that contains the string 'C:\temp\test.txt' without having to do a cffile. I don't think there is, but wanted to ask the list to be sure. I am using javascript right now to populate a hidden field and passing it that way. Thanks.
