I have a form that asks for the file with a  <input name="FileName" size=30 
type="FILE">

I would like to be able to compare the file name to a database value in my 
action page before using <CFFILE> to upload it.  This way if the file is 
being overwritten i give the user one last chance to do this.


<cfif #Query.FileName# IS NOT #FORM.filename#>

Are you sure you want to overwrite this file?
Yes/No

<cfelse>
Write the file and update the database
</cfif>

The only problem is when you use <input name="FileName" size=30 
type="FILE"> the file name being passed is not the actual name of the 
file.  It is something like FILENAME=C:\WINNT\ACF12E.tmp.

So my CFIF statement always says that the file names dont match....

Is there any way to get my <input name="FileName" size=30 type="FILE"> to 
pass the real name of the file????
