type="application/x-msexcel">
</cfcase>
<cfcase value="w">
<cfcontent
file="c:\Inetpub\documents\#replace(attributes.filename,"..","","all")#"
type="application/msword">
</cfcase>
<cfcase value="t">
<cfcontent
file="c:\Inetpub\documents\#replace(attributes.filename,"..","","all")#"

Subject: Re: MIME-TYPES
ya, it has to be only one mime type, otherwise the browser doesn't know
whether to send the file to excel or word.
The best way i have done this is to store the mime type in the db and
do:
<cfcontent
file="c:\Inetpub\documents\#replace(attributes.filename,"..","","all")#"
type="#attributes.type#">
