Unfortunately for you, you really can't use HTML to control from the server what happens to downloaded files. From a client security standpoint, this is a very good thing. You can indicate to the client that the file should be downloaded rather than viewed using CFCONTENT and CFHEADER (examples at http://www.figleaf.com/demo/mimetest/), but that's about it. You could conceivably write a client executable to handle this for you, such as an ActiveX component, but that's about it.
