Your CFFORM tag must include this attribute: enctype="multipart/form-data"
That should do the trick. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Seona Bellamy Sent: Saturday, 10 July 2004 11:05 AM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] <cffile> doesn't seem to work for me Hi guys, I'm having a bit of a problem with <cffile>. I've checked that my webhost allows its use (I actually checked that before I signed up with them) and the problem I have seems to be one of technicality rather than possibility. I have a form which contains, amongst other things, the following field: <label for="PhotoThumb">Thumbnail Photo</label> <input name="PhotoThumb" type="file"> When the form is submitted, it calls this code: <cfif #FORM.PhotoThumb# NEQ ""> <cffile action="upload" filefield="PhotoThumb" destination="C:\inetpub\swanstreet\Thumbs\" nameconflict="overwrite" accept="image/gif, image/jpg"> </cfif> When it tries to run that code, I get the following error: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Error Occurred While Processing Request Error Diagnostic Information Error in CFFILE tag The form field specified in the CFFILE tag (PHOTOTHUMB) 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 (2:2) to (2:147). The error occurred while processing an element with a general identifier of (CFRETHROW), occupying document position (246:11) to (246:21).

More importantly, can anyone tell me how to fix it? I've gone searching via Google and found a bunch of handy hints, all of which I've tried and none of which seem to be making a blin dbit of difference. Hopefully some of you are still around over the weekend. I'd really like to crack this one, since the deadline is looming for this part of the project and I'm at my wit's end (not that it's far to go...).
