Hi folks.
Does anyone know of a way to prompt the user for a save location when you are working with cffile?
Due to the way the network/database systems are set-up I am unable to simply set the 'file' attribute to any location except for the development drive that hosts the module I'm working on.

I need to be able to allow users to save to their local drives though.
If cffile won't work is their a way to view CSV type files using cfdocument?

Thanks for looking

If I am understanding correctly, I think you may be looking at the wrong tag. CFFILE would typically be used used to manipulate files on the CF server (or accessible drives). There is no user interaction. If you wish to trigger a file download (in the user's browser), take a look at CFCONTENT.
