ok.....getting there. It prompts the user whether to open or save file but
when you click on save file it gives you the name of the cfm file that is
being executed altough the content is correct. Is there anyway of putting a
default name or file type in the 'save as' box. The least I want them to do
is to be prompted to save the file as a .doc. I'm not bothered about the
name of the file.

Try MIMETYPE="unknown" and see if that works. Unfortunately IE has a
tendency to read the file extension and use the MIMETYP associated with the
file extension instead of the MIMETYPE in the HTTP header.
