Right Ian. I understand that part. But consider this: 1) User uploads myFile.txt 2) CF puts it into c:\temporary\directory\neo12345.tmp 3) Form field value has c:\temporary\directory\neo12345.tmp 4) code calls <cffile action="upload" ... /> 5) If I did not specify a new file name in the destination attribute, the file retains the "myFile.txt" name. 6) If I specified a variable for the result attribute (e.g. myUploadResult), I can get to that file name via myUploadResult.clientFile
My question, and this is more out of curiosity than anything, is how does CF "remember" the original user's file name of "myFile.txt" between steps 3 and 4 above. Looking through the various scopes doesn't seem to reveal it. The form field, as you mentioned is a random name in a temporary directory.
