This worked for us (IE was the problem for us tho) and remember and
change the content type
<!--- TO FORCE A DOWNLOAD--->
<cfset sFileName = "IFormData_" & dateformat(now(),"yyyymmdd") &
timeformat(now(),"HHmm") & ".csv">
<!--- IE 5.5 has bug and need to give it slightly diff header info --->
<cfif FindNoCase("MSIE 5.5",CGI.USER_AGENT) GT 0>
<cfheader name="content-disposition"
value="filename=#sFileName#">
<cfelse>
<cfheader name="content-disposition" value="attachment;
filename=#sFileName#">
</cfif>
<cfcontent type="text/comma-separated-value">
