I'm assuming the file is not within the web root.

What I've done is the link that downloads the file looks like 

index.cfm/filename=help.xls?documentid=1234

Your PC then thinks the file is an excel file. If you have Excel installed
it will fire it up.

How do you open .ppt and .xls inline within a cfm file with out the
download
dialogue box?

I've been trying to use the cfcontent tag with various mime types to no
avail.
