<cfheader name="Content-type" value="application/octet-stream">
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value='attachment; filename="#FileName#"'>
<!--- if this fouls up in various browsers...try trailing slash in file attribute below --->
<cfcontent file="#FullFilePath.Value#" type="application/octet-stream">
</cfoutput>
The application/octetstream mime type will ALWAYS force the download dialgue window and the above code will always show the correct file name and extension to download

Was searching for solutions for this same problem and came across this thread, but have yet to find any reason for it. It's very frustrating because it works fine in development, but on production, it won't give us the Word file. We are running the same Win2K server on both, same service pack, same version of Cold Fusion, and of course, I'm viewing these pages on the same IE browser. I've run out of options to check at this point, surely there is *some* reason this is happening!
