Hey Bruce, No worries, I may not have explained it all too well either. Thanks for the friendly name idea. I was hoping there was another way, but I've messed around with this long enough so that's how it's going to be done!

I misunderstood your post and thought that you wanted the file name that you are sending. My bad. Anyway, I don't think this is possible with CF, but CF can rename the file on it's own if there is a conflict. Just use the makeunique attribut. Typically what I do is when I have a user upload a file, I have them select the file they want to upload, and then I have another field for a friendly name. So if the file is something like 2008budget.xls, I would have them enter something like 2008 Budget. I enter the serverrfile name into the table along with the friendly name. Then when I query the table I show the friendly name to the user and then use the serverfile name for the actual file name. Bruce Rick Sanders wrote: > Hey Bruce, > > Thanks again.
