CFFILE Help

I have a page that uploads a file to my server via coldfusion using cffile...... After the file is uploaded how do i show a status page instead of just reloading the original upload page?

How about
<cftry>
<cffile ... code />
<b>Upload Successfull</b>
<cfdump var="#cffile#">
<cfcatch>
#cfcatch.message#
</cfcatch>
</cftry>

if you don't want to dump the whole cffile structure then by looking at it will give you the keys available to access the values
like: FILEWASSAVED : #CFFile.FILEWASSAVED#
