I'm guessing I'm making a simple mistake, but would appreciate a push in the right direction. I've added a file download action to my form, but it's showing an error as if the link is not working. The link is valid when I put it in the browser:

Here's the screen shot of what I see on the form setup tab:

The action is pretty simple, and I just pasted it in:

Can you offer some guidance?

Hello beykeysr,
I'm not a Chrono professional, but after checking your new post, I think that the following links may help:
How do I use the File Downloader action?
How can I use the 'multi file' settings in CFv5?
How can I attach files from my server to an email in CFv5
P.S: I'm just an automated service😉

Hi beykeysr,

The file download action needs an absolute server path to the file, which means that you can not provide a link like you have.

Another point, it should be the last action, no other actions will run after it, and no output will be displayed to the user, so just redirect the user to an event with the download action only, the browser will not redirect, but it will show the download dialog.

Best regards,
Max

I was able to determine the absolute path and now the setup indicates no errors, and the file download is the last action:

I cleared the cache, but the form is still not performing:

Any additional advice?

I went with your second suggestion and added a download link to the Thank You page.

After a couple rounds of testing, cache clearing, and browser refreshing, I finally have the form and process working as desired. Thanks for your direction.
