Yea, I'm very aware that the App.cfm page should be called. I tried your cfflush thing, and if I insert it (cfflush) into the doc_server.cfm page (the one serving up the Word Doc), then the IP authentication works fine, but the Word doc isn't displayed as a Word doc.
So, my solution was to use <cfflush> if they are not authenticated, and everything seems to be working fine. Weird, I'd like an explanation as to why this has to be done in this manner. I know it has to do with the headers and something to do with cfcontent dumping all headers and starting over again, but I don't know exactly why. First one to enlighten me gets a shiny star.
