Just worked through this problem about a month ago. The enctype="multipart/form-data" on IE 5.0 does a strange thing - it inserts a blank space at the end of every single form input inside the form. Major pain. Anyway, on the receiving end, you need to Trim() your form variables, especially from <input type="file">.
There's a couple other issues too, like the lack of visible file extensions on the mac. When you upload, you may need to use #cffile.serverfilename#.#cffile.serverfileext# instead of #cffile.serverfile# especially if you intend to move the file around any. It can get tricky, but it's manageable. Let us know how it goes. Mike Michael B.

Can someone give me the quick low down on the trick for uploading files from a MAC? -mk ******************************* I have a <CFFILE> question for you. I am comparing results from a Mac and a Windows machine. On the windows machine, the file works great, for adding and updating files. On a Mac (G-3) using Netscape 4.76 and IE 5, I get the following error: ___________________________________________________________ Error Diagnostic Information Error in CFFILE tag The form field specified in the CFFILE tag (FOODFILENAME) does not contain an uploaded file. Please be sure that you have specified the correct form field name. The error occurred while processing an element with a general identifier of (CFFILE), occupying document position (1:1) to (4:26). ______________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
