    Default CFFILE - Form field does not contain file

    Hi,

    I am having trouble using CFFILE and my multipart form.

    I get this error:

    The form field
    "C:\CFusionMX7\runtime\servers\coldfusion\SERV ER-INF\temp\wwwroot-tmp\neotmp4366
    ..tmp" did not contain a file.

    The CFFILE upload is:

    <CFIF #filename# neq "">

    <CFFILE filefield="#filename#" action="UPLOAD"
    destination="c:\cfusionMx7\wwwroot\emails" nameconflict="MAKEUNIQUE">
    <CFSET filepath="c:\cfusionMx7\wwwroot\emails\#File.Serve rfile#">
    <CFELSE>
    <CFSET filepath="">
    </cfif>


    The form is:

    <form method="post" action="sendmail_test.cfm" enctype="multipart/form-data">

    <input type="hidden" name="email" value="testmail@test.com">
    <input type="hidden" name="from_required">
    <input type="hidden" name="message_required">
    <input type="hidden" name="subject_required">

    <input type="hidden" name="from" value="test@test.com" size="30"><p>
    <input type="hidden" name="fax" value="15555555555" size="30"><p>
    Attachment:<br><input type="file" name="filename"><P>
    Subject: <br> <input type="text" name="subject" size="50"><p>
    Message: <br><Textarea name="message" cols="50" rows=5></textarea><p>
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send E-mail Now" class="button">
    <input type="reset" value="Clear" class="button">
    </form>

    Default Re: CFFILE - Form field does not contain file

    <CFFILE filefield="filename" action="UPLOAD"
    destination="c:\cfusionMx7\wwwroot\emails" nameconflict="MAKEUNIQUE">

    Take out the pound signs around "filename". Filename is the name of the
    filefield. I would recommend naming the filefield something else. You're
    confusing yourself.

    Good luck!
