As follows

filename=Name of your Object">
<cfcontent file="File Path"
type="application/octet-stream" >

Subject: Re: [ cf-dev ] cfcontent
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.
