Ooops, committed that most horrible of sins and didn't read the question
closely enough to see the "upload". On my server (CF4.5/W2K),
cffile.contenttype and cffile.contentsubtype show "application" and
"octet-stream" when I upload a .csv file. Hmmm.

Mosh,
Yes, I am trying to put csv in the accept field of the cffile tag. None of
the accept types I have tried already seem to work...and i've tried just
about every combination (text/x-csv, text/csv, application/csv,
application/csv, application/msexcel, application/excel,
application/x-msexcel, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/x-excel)
I'm able to upload excel files perfectly using application/vnd.ms-excel as
the accept value but just can't seem to get csv to work.
The only thing I can think of is that the host I have my website located on
doesn't have .csv in the registry as a mime type.

Just out of curiosity, what does "doesn't work" mean in your context? What
are you trying to do?
I'm assuming you're trying to place the mime-type in the ACCEPT attribute.
Are you trying to accept CSV but deny MS Excel format?
