You could serve the file up with CFCONTENT and use a Content-disposition header to mark the content as an attachment (giving you the Save As box).
This would require the file to be called via a cfm file though, instead of a straight link to the text file. Perhaps there is a better way.. HTH -R -----Original Message----- From: Wurst, Keith D.

I am trying to force a "save as" box in IE when a user clicks on a link that creates a .txt file. What keeps happening is that the browser 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 to do this? Thanks very much.
