Re: using getURL with cfcontent and Excel files

["BKBK" <webforumsuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Two quick points. "XLS" is same as "xls" in Coldfusion, so no need to compare 
for both. Use absolute path for the file attribute in cfcontent. Something like 
this should work 

 <cfselect 
                size = "15" 
                required = "Yes"
                query = "getData" 
                
onchange="getURL('somePage.cfm?requestedFile=viewFile.xls','_blank')"
                value ="id" 
                display ="name"                 
                              <option value = "">Select All</option>
        </cfselect>


 somePage.cfm
 ===============
 <cfif Right(url.requestedFile,3) IS "xls">
 <cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="inline; filename=Report.xls">
 <cfcontent type="application/vnd.ms-excel" 
file="c:/coldfusion8/wwwroot/testfile.xls">
 </cfif>
