You have to use cffile to save the file to the server:
<cffile action="UPLOAD" filefield="attachFile" destination="c:\"
nameconflict="MAKEUNIQUE">

After saving the file, a number of #cffile.*# variables are available to
you.  Of importance is #cffile.serverFile#, which is the name of the
file once saved to the server (in case the name had to be changed to be
unique). Use this in cfmail:

<cfmail from="#FromEmail#" to="#E_Mail#" subject="#Subject#"
query="StaffList" mimeattach="#cffile.serverFile#">

Subject: File Attachments to Email

Hi All.  1st post.  I gather email info (subject, message, etc.) on a
form and use

<input type="file" name="AttachFile" size="40">

to get the path of a file attachment (if there is one).  Example of the
value in AttachFile is C:\compl.txt   When I pass this info on to the
next module and use

<cfmail from="#FromEmail#" to="#E_Mail#" subject="#Subject#"
query="StaffList" mimeattach="#AttachFile#">

 CF  looks for the file compl.txt on the server C drive and thus I keep
getting 

Cannot attach 'C:\compl.txt' to the mail message. The file does not
exist. 
        Can anyone tell me how I can attach files from my (users) PCs
and not have the code go to the server to try and find the file.  Many
thanks in advance for any help.
