We always did a content reset which seems to work nicely...
<!---Reset Output --->
<!--- Set to excel mime type --->
<cfcontent reset="true" type="application/excel">
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment;
filename=acctDownload.xls">
<!--- header row --->
<table>
<tr>
And then start your table data for xls output.
