I have experienced the same problem, but I am not sure what causes it
exactly. However I do have a solution. Instead of putting values in the
form elements put them in the form action. Ie.
<FORM ACTION="index.cfm?somevalue=yes&etc=1" METHOD="POST">
instead of
<FORM ACTION="index.cfm" METHOD="POST">
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="somevalue" VALUE="yes">
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="etc" VALUE="1">

I have used forms like the one you describe many times and have never the
problem you are having, so you can be sure it is not the CF server...
Are you setting method to post in the form tag?
Do you have any CFlocations based on the file input field (if the page
relocates you will lose the form fields)?
Post the code for all to look at and I'm sure you'll get a more informative
answer. Good luck!

Subject: ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" problem
I don't know if this is a CF problem yet, but I haven't been able to get to
the bottom of it:
The problem arises when using ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" to allow the use
of files in a form. It seems that if a file is present, then all is well.
However if the file field is empty then none of the other form data (input
type="text" etc.) are avalable to the processing page. You get the error
"Error resolving parameter FORM.PRICE" or something similar. Removing the
enctype parameter from the form cures the problem (but this disables the
file capabilities).
We are using: CF Enterprise 4.5.1, Windows 2000 ADV server / IIS 5, IE5.0
(to submit the form).
I guess the problem could be with any of these (of couse it could just be me
doing something stupid).
Anyway, if anyone has experienced the same problem or has an explaination I
would be very grateful.
Thanks,
Scott.
