Try this:
<a href="#URLEncodedFormat('/documents/interview with john smith
##1.doc')#">Download file a</a>
The issue isn't so much cold fusion, although you do nee dthe double hash
above, but that the browser thinks everything after the hash is a 'bookmark' so
it's really looking for: "/documents/interview with john smith " and it's not
finding that file.
Let me know if it works!

Subject: # Signs Causing a different Problem
Hi Folks,
In my document management application, I have recently
run into a problem. I have some documents which were
named with pound signs in their name "interview with
john smith #1.doc" for instance. When I link to this
file name, the link doesn't work:
<a href="/documents/interview with john smith
#1.doc">Download file a</a>
It will generate a 404 file not found. So the
question is, why does this happen? Is this a document
encoding issue? Can anyone suggest a solution aside
from just renaming the file before its saved?
Thank you.
