    <cffile action="UPLOAD" filefield="fileName" destination="#dlrPayInq_w#" nameconflict="overwrite">

    That can't be the code you're running, because there's a dangling <cfif> in there (the directoryExists() one).  You'd just get a compile error with that.

    What's the actual code you're running?

    Can you do a simple read & write with <cffile> to that dir?

    of coz this is not my full code, i just highlight those that are related.

    <cfif trim(fileName) NEQ "">
         <cfif directoryexists(dlrPayInq_w)>
    <cfelse>
        <!--- Create this folder --->
        <cfdirectory action = "create"
        directory = "#dlrPayInq_w#">
    </cfif>

    </cfif>

    there is another /cfif tag that miss out.

    Had you restarted your CF service after changing the login credentials??

    Have you logged in as the user CF is using. and tried to access that dir yourself?  Just to make sure the permissions are right?  Forget just eyeballing the settings and going "yeah, that looks right": test it.
