Yeah I tried application/unknown however it saves the document as a .cfm
file ????

I have this ...

<cfquery name="get_download_tag" datasource="webuserdsn">
      SELECT report_id, forced_download
      FROM report_names
      WHERE report_id = #trim(ListGetAt(decoded,5,"-"))#
</cfquery>

<cfswitch expression="#trim(ListGetAt(decoded,4,"-"))#">
      <cfcase value=".doc">
            <cfset mime_type = "application/msword">
      </cfcase>
      <cfcase value=".pdf">
            <cfset mime_type = "application/pdf">
      </cfcase>
      <cfcase value=".xls">
            <cfset mime_type = "application/vnd.ms-excel">
      </cfcase>
      <cfcase value=".ppt">
            <cfset mime_type = "application/vnd.ms-powerpoint">
      </cfcase>
</cfswitch>

<cfif #trim(get_download_tag.forced_download)# eq 1>
      <cfset mime_type = "application/unknown">
</cfif>

<cfcontent file="#ListGetAt(decoded,3,"-")#" type = "#mime_type#">

decoded,3 actually contains the path of the file witht he file extension
like d:\documents\abc.xls

I need to force the download document dialogue box.
