You don't really view the doc files in cold fusion..
So specify..
. Are you wanting to link directly to the file, or hide the actual name of it?
. Are you trying to create the file?
. Are you trying to get the extension to be .cfm or the regular extension (.doc, .rtf, .txt)?

I am trying to display the contents of a word file at the end of a report i was thinking about creating but i just get back a bunch of jumbled characters. I can retrieve a txt file just fine. But anything else that a txt file does not display properly. I guess I do not understand the proper code to display this type of file. I do know you have to use 'cfcontent'.
Thank You
Thank You
Are you trying to cfinclude the word file.. or use cffile to get it?
Neither of those will work for such files, you need cfcontent...
You cannot append a word file to a seperate type of file in this manner.. what you might consider is using frames, or what would slick is an IFRAME containing your word file..
You can make cfcontent trick the browser into thing your cfm page is a word file or many other types of files.
