Hi Dan
That doesn't work
It opens the pdf fine: the url in the browser says
www.host.com/webinars/classroom.cfm?handout=ai-session1.pdf
and if I try to save the pdf file the file name is: classroom.pdf
What I would like to do is save it as: ai-session1.pdf

You need two tags: one to set the file name, one to send return the document

Well, if the file name is "classroom.pdf", it must be because you have handout
set to "classroom.pdf", no?

person clicks on a link: classroom.cfm?handout=session1.pdf
classroom.cfm has

This displays the file fine in the browser, but attempts to save it using the

Well, I see. Then it definitely looks like a Firefox issue. Have you try with
Explorer?
I don't see what you can do from CF.

Hi Claude
It appears on all browsers. i think the issue is in the adobe pdf reader, not
picking up the file name.
it seems to fall under the rubric. "Just when I thought I had idiot proofed the
system they invented a more advanced idiot."
My solution for now, or what I am prepared to put time
