Becky,
The "makeunique" attribute for CFFILE does just that. If the filename
already exists CF will generate a random filename instead.
You need to use the 'nameconflict="OVERWRITE"' attribute instead.
Be VERY carefull with the OVERWRITE attribute as it can be dangerous.
Testing ... testing ... testing is required, preferably with the
MAKEUNIQUE attribute first. When you are certain the results are what
you require then test your code with the OVERWRITE attribute.
If you can be certain that there should be no filename conflict (for
example, a file specific to a user when there can be no duplicate
users) then the overwrite should be safe.
Cheers!

Subject: cffile
when i use cffile to upload a file to a directory on my webserver, it
seems
to rename the file when i try to insert that same file into my
database.
so if i upload say text.html it shows up in my database as a .tmp
file.
what am i doing wrong?
<cffile action="UPLOAD" filefield="Files"
destination="c:\inetpub\wwwroot\admin\files"
nameconflict="MAKEUNIQUE">
my insert statment is just
insert into tblarticles
(files)
values
('#GetFileFromPath(form.Files)#')
