Mike, Another possible issue to consider, is the production server Windows or Linux?
A Linux machine will be case sensitive to file and folder names, and won't allow spaces either. Another simple test you might (and probably should) use: fileexists(string path). The 'file' attribute of the cfcontent tag won't do you diddly if it can't find the file you're looking for (you may have thought of this already, but it's the simple stupid stuff that always catches me with my pants down...) Pathing is one of those things that can, and will, catch you off guard;) Cutter Mike Kear wrote: >I tried Matt's method of using CFContent to serve the files to the user, and >worked just like a charm - on my dev machine.
