hang on, isn't it the case that the FileExisted variable is in the File scope. It's not in the Variables scope. It's still available as a variable in the calling page, which is why the custom tag can pick it up in the caller scope. If you just output it in the test.cfm without any scope, I assume that would display it, but to transfer it explicitly from File.FileExisted to Variables.FileExisted you'll probably have to CFSet it.
that's my understanding anyhow.

To help explain myself you can run the two pages below, one is the custom tag strange.cfm, the other a form page. Within strange.cfm CALLER.FileExisted exists without me setting it (the cfparam and cfset are commented out at this point). Yet when I try and reference VARIABLES.fileExisted in the calling page I get an error. Using cfparam doesn't help, which I find strange, but cfset does what it should do. This was run on CFMX with no updaters and now at work with CFMX and updater 2. Anyone have an explanation? ---------------------------------- strange.cfm ---------------------------------- <!--- Upload the file to the current directory ---> <cffile action="upload" filefield="file" nameconflict="skip" destination="#GetDirectoryFromPath(GetCurrentTemplatePath())#"> <!--- <cfparam name="CALLER.FileExisted" default="no"> ---> <!--- <cfset CALLER.FileExisted = "no"> ---> <p> <cfoutput> Tag Debug<br> CFFILE.FileExisted = #CFFILE.FileExisted#<br> CALLER.FileExisted = #CALLER.FileExisted#<br> </cfoutput> <!--- CALLER:<cfdump var="#CALLER#"> ---> <!--- CFFILE:<cfdump var="#CFFILE#"> ---> </p> ---------------------------------- test.cfm ---------------------------------- <html> <head> <title>Test</title> </head> <body> <cfif IsDefined("FORM.submit")> <cf_strange> </cfif> <form method="post" action="test.cfm" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="file" name="file"> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"> </form> <cfif IsDefined("FORM.submit")> <p> <cfoutput> Page Debug<br> CFFILE.FileExisted = #CFFILE.FileExisted#<br> VARIABLES.FileExisted = #VARIABLES.FileExisted#<br> </cfoutput> <!--- VARIABLES:<cfdump var="#VARIABLES#"> CFFILE:<cfdump var="#CFFILE#"> ---> </p> </cfif> </body> </html> ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- Adrian Lynch Web Developer Thoughtbubble Ltd ---------------------- United Kingdom http://www.thoughtbubble.net Ph: +44 (0) 20 7387 8890 ---------------------- The information in this email and in any attachments is confidential and intended solely for the attention and use of the named addressee(s) .
