You could use CFCONTENT to serve them up as .dat files. <cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="inline; filename=yourfile.dat"> <cfcontent file="d:\yourfile.dat" type="text/plain" deletefile="no">

I've configured my file associations in UltraEdit (on the client) to open .dat files. When I click on the link the file gets opening in Ultraedit which is what I want. For some reason if the following tags are in the datafile <title>, <head>, <body>...etc the file get sent to the browser. Can someone explain why? How do I get around this problem? The "X" is a mapped driver letter on the client PC pointing to a specific directory on the server. <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Test</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <a href="file://z:\directory\subdirectory\testfile.dat">Test File</a> </BODY> </HTML> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
