If you are using CFMX 7, there should be a "variable" attribute for CFContent. Then just use CFHeader the same way you would normally (forcing the attachment).
If you are doing it pre-MX7... You might want to try it like you are using a standard binary object: http://www.bennadel.com/index.cfm?dax=blog:313.view Check out how pre-mx7 I am streaming the image to the underlying byte stream. I don't think this is *supported* and I am sure I don't fully understand how it works. ......................

I am looking to do that same thing with a text file now, but the content of that text file is in a variable and not a file on the file system. Is it possible to push the variable as a string buffer and have the browser present the user with the open/save as pop-up box for a text file? The are security reasons for not writing the data to a file in the file system, so I would like to see if it can be pushed to the user without the intermediate step of creating the file.
