Since we lost our CF Webmaster, I've been duped into filling in...it's only been 4 years now....and I know very, very little about CF.....excuse my ignorance.

We use CF for our intranet site and I was trying to see if I could get rid of a pop-up window when a client requested a specific report. The window is being blocked by the IE pop-up blocker (or even the google tool bar) and it's killing me with support calls. I'd like the report to display in the SAME window, but I don't know how to change the behavior. The following is the code to generate the page and display the report:

<CFSET cPageTitle = "Central System Reports">
<CFSET cMyInitials = "JGB">
<CFOUTPUT>
<!-- Content manager: #cMyInitials# -->
<CFINCLUDE TEMPLATE="#cSiteLogicalRoot#/includes/topstuff.inc">

How can I stop the report from opening up in a new window?

Have you tried changing

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="newWindow" value="yes">

to

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="newWindow" value="no">

?

No, I have not tried that....will it work for certain?

We have a mirror of the main site I use for development work and somehow I hosed it. All I did was remove the entire NAME="newWindow" statement from that line. After I did that, it opened in the same window, but did not invoke Acrobat to display the document....I dunno why the hell that happened! I put it back in and now the pop-up window is blank! I even copied the file back from the live directory and it still won't invoke Acrobat....which is odd because the code parses the file name to the HTML document for display, I see the PDF file name, but Acrobat never launches. I even tested on another machine, so it's not just my machine....the live Intranet site is working fine.

Looks like it's starting Acrobat, but there's no file to display. For some reason, it's not finding the file even though it's parsing the correct name to the HTML document....arggggg...I suck at this!

The file exists, I checked, but it's not opening it. Any ideas to get my development site working again?

It's like this is just not working:

<CF_PDFSHOW pcDefaultPDF="#cVirtualDirectory#/#cFileName#">

Guess I don't understand the "VirtualDirectory" part...what the hell is that?

It's a variable pointing to /content/rep/pdfs/csreports. Let me take a closer look.

Yes...that did the job! Now my problem is trying to figure out why my development site doesn't display the reports anymore. The live site is working fine and the files are identical.

Are the sites on the same physical server?

Yes, and even on the same drive. There's just two directories: wwwroot and wwwrootd. Both are on the same level, right off the C: drive.
