Advise on how to accomplish the following would be much appreciated: -
I have a new user form which adds in a users details, once entered this then moves to a second screen where the newly created users ID is stated at the top of the page eg.. USER09. On the 2nd page also is a file upload box with prompts the user to upload a word document.
What i want to achieve is the following : -
The user can only upload a word document that has the same name as there newly created ID eg USER09.doc
The file is to be stored to the webservers location c:\docs
An error is to be displayed top the user if the word documents name doesnt match with their userid
Any code on how to achieve this for the second page would be much appreciated
Cheers
JT

Sorry didnt explain myself properly...
I need the user to physically name their word document to the name of their userid for validation purposes. So there should be no renaming of the file at all.
If the uploaded word document doesnt match the userid - fail
No name duplications are allowed
Any code on how to perform this would be much appreciated
yeah something like this:
pass the user name as a hidden input ..
<cffile action="upload" filefield="formfield" destination="something" nameconflict="makeunique">
<!--- this is where u wil rename the file --->
<cfset userfile = file.ServerFile>
<cfif userfile NEQ 'username.doc'>
<cffile action="delete" file="expandPath(userfile)
<cfoutput>you did name the file properly </cfoutput>
</cfif>
<cffile action="upload" filefield="formfield" destination="something" nameconflict="makeunique">
<CFSET RequiredName = "#Form.UserID#.doc">
<CFIF Compare(File.ClientFileNam
<!--- do something here, such as CFLOCATION back to the form --->
<CFELSE>
<cffile action="delete" file="full_path_name">
</CFIF>

This is what i would do. Dont worry about the name of the file they are unloading.. it can be anything.. so you know how to get the file uploaded to the server..
for eg..
<cffile action="upload" filefield="formfield" destination="something" nameconflict="makeunique">
<!--- this is where u wil rename the file --->
<cfset userfile = file.ServerFile>
<cffile action = "rename" source="expandPath(userfil
