Hey guys, complete noob, been trying to figure out how to wrap my head around cffile for a couple of weeks now. I can get a file to upload to the server, even change the name once saved. But i am having problems entering the data into my database.any help would be greatly appreciated...

<cfif structKeyExists(form,"fileUpload") and len(form.fileUpload)>
<cfquery datasource="wpan7608">
INSERT INTO Photos('Photo')
VALUES('#Trim(FORM.Photo)#')
</cfquery>
</cfif>

What error are you geting I think your insert should be

INSERT INTO Photos(Photo)

Move your insert statement below the file upload section.
Then insert file.ServerFile as the name.
