Phill,
In your action page you can specify what types of files to accept.
For example:
<CFFILE
FILEFIELD="file2Upload"
NAMECONFLICT="OVERWRITE"
DESTINATION ="C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\files\"
ACTION = "UPLOAD"
ACCEPT = "image/gif, image/jpeg, application/doc, etc..."

Hi everyone,
I'm doing a file upload using standard HTML with the following form:
<form name="upload" action="processUpload.cfm" method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="file2Upload" size="40"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Upload This File">
</form>
but it only reads the file contents if the file has a ".txt" extension. I
can rename an ASCII file from a different extension to .txt, and it works.
Does anyone know how to specify a file extension other than .txt and have it
work?
Thanks,
Phill Gibson
