Chris, I'm alread using the ACCEPT attribute in the CFFILE tag. However, if you try and upload a non-GIF file to the server, you get a standard CF error page.
What I was hoping to do was to trap the problem and specifically know that it was a bad file type as opposed to another error and re-direct the user and alert them to the problem. Simply using catch type="Any" doesn't really give me enough info to do this. ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Christopher Olive" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: Advanced CFCATCH Exception Types Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2002 15:46:24 -0500 perhaps i'm oversimplifying, but can't you use the ACCEPT="mime_type/file_type" attribute of CFFILE in the upload? christopher olive, cto, vp of web development atnet solutions, inc. 410.931.4092 http://www.atnetsolutions.com -----Original Message----- From: Dave Carabetta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2002 3:13 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Advanced CFCATCH Exception Types I would like to trap a CFFILE error using CFTRY/CFCATCH if the user submits a bad file type. I only want to allow them to upload .gif files. I can use the CFCATCH TYPE="Any" to trap it, but I was hoping that I could trap specifically for a bad file type. I noticed that there are a whole slew of "advanced" exception types starting with COM.* listed in the documentation, but I can't find one for a bad file type. Can one of those advanced types or a regular type be used other than "Any"?
