Put quotes, trimmed the variable, checked the length of the file name to make sure there weren't any control characters or anything. My code is very straight forward. A day and a half later, still no dice. This is the first time I've used this function. We just upgraded to CF9 a few weeks ago, but it is up to date. This makes no sense whatsoever. When I type the file path into the FileExists function it works fine. Will not work with a variable.
