    Hi,

    But CF9's new <cffileupload> tag provides a way to limit this maxlimit,

    Refer the documentation here,

    Man, I really need to kick my operations guy to get him in gear and get the Virtural Server setup so I can start playing with ColdFusion 9!!!

    To be clear, just reading that documentation, that tag is going to build some type of Flash and|or JavaScript User interface that will run on the client.  , but it is doing so with a neat little tag just like the other cfform tags can create quite sophisticated dhtml or flash form interfaces.

    But I really do want to start using the cool new toys.

    Yes Ian!.. Even I tried a demo of <cffileupload> here, and it looks very handy comparing to the older ways of uploading things.

    I hope you will like CF9's new ORM built-in functionality as well. :-).

    Happy Coding :-) ...

    NOPE!

    ColdFusion isn't told about the image until after the browser has sent it and the web server has received it and put it into a temp directory.

    The only hope you have to stopping this is with some client side tool in something like JavaScript or Flash that intercepts the file before it is uploaded.
