Here's the base code: <cfset FilePath="z:\foo\bar\"> <cfset FileName="myfile.pdf"> <cfset MIMEType="application/pdf"> <cfset DisplayType="inline"> <cfset FileToPush=FilePath&FileName> <cfheader name="content-disposition" value="#DisplayType#; filename=#FileName#"> <cfcontent type="#MIMEType#" file="#FileToPush#"> The intent of the above is to get a file to display inside of the browser, via the Acrobat browser plugin we (probably) all have installed. On IE 6 it worked great. On FF 1.0.4 the Acrobat plugin splash screen fired up but no display. Same failure across multiple attempts. Next, I changed the value of DisplayType to Attachment. <cfset DisplayType="attachment"> The idea being you want the item to open not inside of the browser, but instead you want the actual Acrobat program to open up separately and display the file In FF this gave me the open-or-save dialog. Perfect. Same in IE6, where I chose Open and the Acrobat plugin loaded separately and brought up my file. It seemed in the beginning you were doing all the stuff I'm doing here. If so and you're getting an error I would look to file path problems, or naming the thing wrong. Also you have no space before your filename= parameter and I use one. Maybe thats it. -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
