You need to use a separate CFM to "download" the file with that cfheader/cfcontent stuff. In your "show a web page" just put a meta refresh to the cfm page that retreives the file. This is how almost every system out there does it (like sourceforge) <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="2; url=getfile.cfm"> The number "2" is the number of seconds to pause before attempting file download Rick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
