Re: cfcontent and save as
I thought I could remember something quirky. My memory sucks. If only I could remember if there's a resolution. Good luck.

thanks for all the help, now works perfect! Hi, for security we store xls documents in a non-web root folder. We then use a cfcontent tag to serve the file to the user. the problem is when the user clicks the link they are displayed a download dialogue and all is fine if they click 'open with ms excel', but if they click 'save as' it saves the .cfm file and not the xls file is there a way to save the xls file if the user clicks 'save as' thanks ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:342588 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

RE: cfcontent and save as
You need to use the cfheader tag and tell it the filename.

Re: cfcontent and save as
This question comes up pretty often. I don't remember if there's actually a fix or not. I remember people having problems despite using cfheader to define content-type and disposition.

RE: cfcontent and save as
As long as you use attachment as well as filename in the cfcontent you will never have a problem. So it should something like this cfheader name=Content-Disposition value=Attachment;FILENAME=#FileName# Regards, Andrew Scott http://www.andyscott.id.au/ -Original Message- From: Michael Grant [mailto:mgr...@modus.bz] Sent: Friday, 25 February 2011 5:46 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: cfcontent and save as This question comes up pretty often.
