i must have somehow missed the original message in this thread.  however, it
caught my eye this time and i have the combination of tags you're looking
for, ryan.


  <cfheader
   name="Content-Disposition"
   value="attachment; filename=#app.file#">
  <cfcontent
   type="application/unknown"
   file="#path_to_file#/file.pdf"
   deletefile="No">

enjoy,
