CFFORM/CFINPUT Type = File Problem

Hello everyone-
I'm trying to use a CFINPUT/FILE field in a CFFORM:

<CFINPUT TYPE="file" NAME="scanArticleLocation" class="sans9">

Clicking on the Browse button appears to populate the text input box with a valid path, but when the field "scanArticleLocation" is passed on by the form, I get this:

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="ScanArticleLocation" VALUE="C:\CFusionMX7\runtime\servers\coldfusion\SERVER-INF\temp\wwwroot-tmp\neotmp12527.tmp">

Wether I click on the form's "Browse" button to specify the file's path, or manually enter it, the result is the same (only the .tmp file name changes). Anyone ever come across this one?

Thanks in advance...

    It appears that the problem was in the CFFORM tag itself. I originally had specified that it be multi-part:

    <CFFORM name="UpdateForm" ACTION="insertForm2.cfm" enctype="multipart/form-data" METHOD="POST">

    When I removed the enctype parameter, it worked fine:

    <CFFORM name="UpdateForm" ACTION="insertForm2.cfm" METHOD="POST">
