path to attach a file with cfmail 2

[Pepote]

I have a form to send messages with cfmail to a mailing list, the problem is when I create a field to attach a file to that mailing list, because can´t find the file. The file is in the same´s form directory, but altough I put the path the error I get is that can´t find the file.
Can anyone helpme to solve the problem??
Thanks

I'm afraid I don't quite understand your problem. Are you trying to use a form to upload a file that gets mailed or do you need cfmail to send a file that resides on the server? If you are sending a file from the server and it's in the same directory as the script with cfmail, this should do what you want where "MyFile.txt" is the file you're sending.

<cfmail
to=&quot;yourAddress@yahoo.com&quot;
from=&quot;yourAddress@yahoo.com&quot;
subject=&quot;File&quot;
mimeattach=&quot;#getdirectoryfrompath(cgi.path_translated)#\MyFile.txt&quot;

Le me be more specific. I have a form, this form sends simple messages to an email, obtained from a query, and it works fine. the problem comes when a insert a field in the form to input the path of a file to attach with the message, when I send the form CF server gives me the next error:
&quot;unable to attach file, Cannot attach the file &quot;myfile.txt&quot; to the mail message. the file does not exist&quot;

I know the file must be on the cfserver to be sent, but I can´t send it. let me know if I explained better

I think I understand now. You have a regular text box where you're typing the name of the file to send along with other information. If this is correct, I think the problem might be that you are not passing the full path to the file. If the file is in the same directory as the script which sends the e-mail, I would use the example I posted above and change the file name to the variable you are passing in like this.

<cfmail
to=&quot;yourAddress@yahoo.com&quot;
from=&quot;yourAddress@yahoo.com&quot;
subject=&quot;File&quot;
mimeattach=&quot;#getdirectoryfrompath(cgi.path_translated)#\#fileName#&quot;
>
Message Here
</cfmail>

If your text box is called &quot;fileName&quot; and you type in the name of the file WITHOUT the path, then I believe this should do what you want.

Let me know if I'm still not understanding the problem.
