alternatively it could be something done by specific email clients? again, for security reasons.

An officer tried to send an email out last night with a word doc attachment but the mail has been distributed to everybody and has arrived with the file name and extension changed. It has arrived with the name ATT418371.ATT - and if you click it is prompts you as to which application to open the file with. Does anyone have any idea what may cause the file name and more importantly file type change at some point between the upload and send. The MAKEUNIQUE parameter is being used but that shouldn't change the file extension should it? The file is being selected using a form input box of type file. The code doing the upload is as follows: <cflock name="FileUploadLock" type="EXCLUSIVE" timeout="30"> <!--- Need to get the file onto the server to send! ---> <cffile action="UPLOAD" filefield="attachment" destination="xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" nameconflict="MAKEUNIQUE"> <!--- Put this value into a variable ---> <cfset session.Filelocation = #cffile.serverdirectory#&'\'&#cffile.serverfile#> </cflock> where xxxxxxxxxxx is the path to the attachment directory on the server. Not sure if this is a CF issue or server/infrastructure issue? _______________________________________________________<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> * Regards, Richard Lovelock Westminster City Council - Web Support Cap Gemini Ernst & Young Southbank 95 Wandsworth Road London SW8 2HG ( 0870 906 7482 _______________________________________________________ ******************************************************************************************** " This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Cap Gemini Ernst & Young Group.
