CFCONTENT download name
I'm trying to create an MS Word doc based upon a query and information entered on a form preceeding this report processing template. In the processing template I've tried using: cfcontent type="application/msword" The query runs, but all the information I entered in the form preceeding it is lost. I've tried using: cfcontent type="application/rtf" This works. The query data and all the info from the preceeding form are there, and a download prompt comes up in the browser. HOWEVER, the initial filename in the download prompt is the name of the CFML template which processed it (reports.cfm). I want the name of the file that shows up in that download prompt to be report.doc so that the user won't have to think about about naming the file correctly when they select a place to save it. I've tried the technique suggested by Borkman Lee: http://servername/cfdocs/index.cfm/xyz.doc?fuseaction=showWordDoc It doesn't work on my server. Does anyone else know how to do this? Please copy me on your reply as the list sometimes take a few hours to send messages to me. Thanks!

That might explain the problem. The server is running SP6. That shouldn't affect the use of the CFHEADER tag to specify the file name, as suggested by Tom Muck.
