I thought I could remember something quirky. My memory sucks. If only I
could remember if there's a resolution.
Good luck.

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

RE: cfcontent and save as

[Andrew Scott]

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

Re: cfcontent and save as

[Michael Grant]

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.
Perhaps some of these will help:

RE: cfcontent and save as

[Andrew Scott]

You need to use the cfheader tag and tell it the filename.

cfcontent and save as

[Richard White]

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
