CFFile Write problems

[Fordian-Slip]

Hi Folks -

I was wondering if anybody has come across this problem where CFFile just doesn't want to work. I am not receiving any errors within either the CF logs or the system logs. CF is set up as a local system account and has full control permissions .

Everytime I try it, the page is processed and displays the info I want to save, but the CFFile code does not execute.

I know the web page is working because I have a NOW() on the page to let me know that everything is working and is executing everytime.

Here's the line of code:

<cffile action="WRITE" destination="E:\Inetpub\development\intranetapps\doug\test" file="news.txt" output="news_output1">

I have tried: output="news_output1" or output="#news_output1#"
destination="E:\Inetpub\development\intranetapps\doug\test" or destination="E:\Inetpub\development\intranetapps\doug\test\"

And nothing seems to work.

I have worked with CFFILE in the past but never to the extent of these problems.

Any and all info is appreciated.

Thanks,

Doug

Hi Folks -

I solved this on my own... sometimes it's good to RTFM....

Here's the solution:

<cffile action="WRITE" file="E:\Inetpub\development\intranetapps\doug\test\news.txt" output="#news_output1#">

The attribute DESTINATION is not needed... The FILE attribute must be fully qualifies. And the OUTPUT attribute must have ## for a variable reference.

Thanks,

Doug
