I worked on an application for a client. It basically allows registered users to access certain files. One of the users have been experiencing a weird problem. When she logs in and then clicks on a certain file, she does not see the file.

The template to see the files takes a url parameter called URL.search like myPage.cfm?search=n

when the user plays with the url.search parameter and makes it uppercase, she does see the file. I know CF is not case sensitive ( I don't have any cfscript) and so is the SQL Server 2000.

I still took extra effort to change the code to use uppercase in the query. Also, I have

cachedWithin="#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,0,0)#" to make sure the query is not cached. How is this possible that she does not see the file?

By the way, I have logged in with her credentials and I can see the file. Somebody else in the admin also see the file after logging in as her. I am just confused.
thanks

Is it starting the pdf reader?

Try sending the code for myPage.cfm Maybe there is a clue in there.
