I don't know what this is worth since I did not implement it myself. A friend told me that he created an object that allowed him to mime the HTML data from the CF Web Site to Excel by creating a macro through the GUI and then using that MACRO with CFOBJECT to create a function that can take the format and color features between Excel and CF program intact. I will be trying to implement this soon, so if this is asked again and you all are still stuck. I will most my implementation.
