They are all uploaded in 1 directory by a flash component and then i need to rename them and move them to the directory that corresponds with choosen categories and subcategories. Now I am having problems with finding out how to get my variables correctly It is about the variable thisFiletoMove1, it should correspond with the destination file in the cffile tag <cfif FileExists('#request.site.imgupload#\max_#MultiPowUploadFileName_0#') >   <cffile action="rename"     source="#request.site.imgupload#\max_#MultiPowUploadFileName_0#"     destination="#request.site.imgupload#\#request.currentimgid#_max.jpg" >     <cfset thisFiletoMove1 = #request.currentimgid#_max.jpg /> </cfif> <cfset thisFiletoMove1 = #request.currentimgid#_max.jpg /> is giving an error Invalid CFML construct found, ColdFusion was looking at the following text: _max.jpg Then I try <cfset thisFiletoMove1 = #request.currentimgid & "_max.jpg" /> and I get The source C:\websites\beta.antiek.net\demo\galleries\test\thisFiletoMove1 specified in the cffile tag is invalid So now I am wondering, what is the correct way to do this??

These are both wrong:

<cfset thisFiletoMove1 = #request.currentimgid#_max.jpg />
<cfset thisFiletoMove1 = #request.currentimgid & "_max.jpg" />

You were almost there. What you intended saying was probably

<cfset thisFiletoMove1 = "#request.currentimgid#_max.jpg" />

<cfset thisFiletoMove1 = #request.currentimgid# & "_max.jpg" />

However, even better are
<cfset thisFiletoMove1 = request.currentimgid & "_max.jpg" />
<cfset thisFiletoMove1 = request[currentimgid] & "_max.jpg" />
