There is a way to do it with IIS and Virtual Directories. If you create a
virtual directory that points to the directory where the mp3s are (for example
"mp3download") and add the following to the header in IIS, the file will be
served as a download and there will be no work for the CF server.
the Coldfusion documentation tells you everything you need to know :)

I just built a cfdocument that's in a cfc. I tested it and it seems to work
fine for me with XP - IE, FF.
dave (the worm) tested it out, and he says it's trying to download a cfm file

Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,
Will

that, Im oot of ideas, soz :-(

will open the .txt file and display it - when what I really want is for the
user to be prompted with a "save as" box. Has anyone figured out a way
