Yeah that's the way I was attempting originally. I also gave saving the report to a variable a go (using the 'name' attrb of cfreport) and then calling that variable via cfcontent too. Further, I've tried using cfreport to save the report to a pdf on the hdd, then using filename and cfcontent to display it. All result in the same. (and same tests with flashpaper too.) When I put the url into the browser directly, they display great. Putting that url into 'source' attrb of cfwindow shows the junk. Using Firebug and watching the call when cfwindow opens, I believe I am setting the content type correctly.

I have seen it happen from time to time with the report displaying giberish and that has been my solution with cached content.
