Another option you have is to use a java applet, like "AppletFile".
This would be treated like the file form field, and then use the CFFILE tag
to process the uploaded file.
AppletFile gives you a few more options than the standard <input type=file>
tag. You can define the mask for allowable file types, and file sizes (I
think), set initial folder, etc. You can get more info at
(http://www.appletfile.com/) or do a search of the web for similar applets.

Alright, the client needs to upload a PDF file. How do I let the user
browse their machine for the file to upload? I'd like to use CFTREE, right?
I'm fuddled.
