Call script.cfm like this.. (make #tempFileName# the full filename including
the extension)

script.cfm/#tempFileName#?file=#tempFileName#



script.cfm
----------
<CFCONTENT TYPE="application/vnd.ms-excel" DELETEFILE="YES" 
FILE="D:\PATH\TO\FILE\XLS\#url.file#">



should work.

Subject: CFM File Extension for Downloads


Hello,

I'm creating Excel documents for download.  I've created the cfheader and
cfcontent type (see below) however, when you try to download in Netscape,
the name of the script "script.cfm" is saved vs. the name of the "file.xls"
that I create.  What's the work around for this so that the file is saved
(or opened) as the .xls name I've given it?

   <CFHEADER NAME="Content-Disposition"
VALUE="FILENAME=""#tempFileName#.xls""">
   <CFCONTENT TYPE="application/vnd.ms-excel"
              DELETEFILE="YES"
              FILE="D:\PATH\TO\FILE\XLS\#tempFileName#.XLS">

Thanks,
Dave
