Auto upload file created by cfcontent

[brianism]

Does anyone know if it is possible to automatically upload a file to a server after cfcontent generates the file?

What I am doing now is filling out forms that when submitted update the contents in a database and also spit out a generated Microsoft Word Doc. from the form variables using <cfcontent type="application/msword"> and outputing my variables within that.

I am trying to find a way to complete the form, create the Word Doc. and have it uploaded to a folder on my server all at once.

As of now the Word Doc. is simply created, it needs to be stored somewhere online.

Thanks.

It doesn't have to go into complications like auto-upload. The following code will save the text, table and photo directly to the server as a Word document.

Thanks for the response. It does not work becuase I am unfortunately using Coldfusion 4.5

hmmm. Could you then do it this way? (Come to think of it, it might in fact be a better solution, generally.)

Thanks again. I tried the new code and I think I'm getting closer. Now I just have to figure out why I get this error:

The requested file is not ASCII text and can not be rendered.
