RE: CFFile Replacment
silly question, but wouldn't the name you're looking for be the value of the form element you used to upload the file? -Original Message- From: Mike Townend [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2001 12:28 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: CFFile Replacment Yes I have all that code done... The problem is if someone uploads a file called header.gif I get passed the name of the temporary file that is create ie c:\winnt\acer33.gif this I can then move etc...

RE: CFFile Replacment
even without trying the code, I'd have to argue. form.myfile is the name of the file and the path on their computer which you would normally then use in cffile to upload with if you're using input type=file to upload with. -Original Message- From: Mike Townend [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 07, 2001 11:11 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: CFFile Replacment No this gets replaced with the path and filename of the uploaded file which is not the name of the original file...

RE: CFFile Replacment
Ive got a nasty feeling that I will need to hook into IIS or something like that As a workaround you might consider using some JavaScript on the form page to grab the value of the file upload field and write it to a hidden field in the form. Use the OnSubmit handler or something like that. I remember I had to do this once for some project a long time ago and from what I recall it worked well (YMMV).
