Well it seems that it indeed was Apache 2.0.39 causing the pdf download issue.
I got a copy of the 2.0.40 msi (the .exe still is bunged), installed it, and tested the links to the pdfs. They all work now (WOOHOOOO!!)...unfortunately, CFMX won't run with Apache 2.0.40, or rather Apache 2.0.40 won't run with a call to the Jrun module, until they (MM) upgrade the jrun module (same as 2.0.39). I hope they hurry. I've got to launch this beast next week and I definately don't want to run IIS on this server. Macromedia (et.al.), if you're listening, please please, please fix the incompatability issue with .40! will ---- To quote Mr. Orange, "I dyin' over here!" ---- William H.
