String index out of range: -6

[colesc8]

I have a form that allows people to upload files to the server. Details about
the users are stored to a database as is the location of their uploads on the
CF server. The files themselves are stored as shown below. Each time I try to
upload, however, I get the following message: String index out of range: -6.
This is from the uploadaction page: <cfinsert datasource = 'pre_reg_info'
tablename = 'upload_table' formfields = ''> <cffile action='upload'
filefield='Form.file_upload' destination='D:\inetpub\ictmt7\uploads'
accept='application/msword,application/pdf,application/vnd.ms-powerpoint,text/pl
ain'> This from the uploadfileForm If I change the directory seting it simply
changes the number at the end of the error alert. I've looked all over the
internet for an answer but there is nothing specific to ColdFusion. Can anyone
help me here?

Apologies: meant to add this from the uploadfileFOrm: <cfif upload NEQ ''>
<cffile action='upload' filefield='upload' destination='C:\temp'
nameconflict='makeunique'> <cfset upload_file= #file.ServerFile#>

Just as a point of interest, the solution to this as I have since discovered is
to write the correct path to the CFserver. Unless the path to the server is
exactly right it will throw up the string index error. Colin
