You have something weird going on... I think using CFFlush is probably not the best solution, as is more an indication that something odd is going on. As far as it not showing up as a word document, that is because CFFlush write all the page headers and there fore, CFContent and CFHeader afterwards are ignored by the browser and probably by CF as well (hence, there is nothing telling the browser to expect a word document).

I tried your cfflush thing, and if I insert it (cfflush) into the doc_server.cfm page (the one serving up the Word Doc), then the IP authentication works fine, but the Word doc isn't displayed as a Word doc. So, my solution was to use <cfflush> if they are not authenticated, and everything seems to be working fine. Weird, I'd like an explanation as to why this has to be done in this manner. I know it has to do with the headers and something to do with cfcontent dumping all headers and starting over again, but I don't know exactly why. First one to enlighten me gets a shiny star.
