cfheader name=Content-Type value=application/powerpoint
cfheader name=Content-Disposition value=attachment; filename=test.ppt

Try that.


 I've got a .mht (multipart html) that I generated from powerpoint. My 
 end result is to be able to fill in pieces of a powerpoint slide on 
 the fly with CF to generate the appropriate .mht file to a user. 
 However, if I pass it to the user as an .mht, it tries to open in the 
 browser. I added a cfcontent and cfheader to the top of the page 
 to try to get it to force the filename to go back to the browser as a 
 ppt so they can save it or open it. The code works fine on MX 6.1 but 
 I can't get it to work on CF5. Anyone have any gotchas or reasons why 
 I can't do it?
 
 
 Snippet:
 
 
 cfheader name=Content-Type value=application/powerpoint
 cfheader name=Content-Disposition value=inline; filename=test.
 ppt
 
 
 I also tried to use a cfcontent type=application/powerpoint 
 reset=yes and all the combinations I could think of but it just 
 wouldn't work. Like I said I copied the exact same code to 6.1 and all 
 works well.
