Just to be sure, are you using <cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="Yes"> on the page that serves the Excel report? I know in some cases if you have a white space at the beginning of the file it will either output complete gibberish to the screen, or freeze up your browser.
Something else you might try is wrapping your cfcontent tag with this. <cfprocessingdirective suppresswhitespace="Yes"><cfcontent ....> </cfprocessingdirective> _____________________________ steve oliver senior internet developer atnet solutions, inc. http://www.atnetsolutions.com -----Original Message----- From: Scott Van Vliet [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 11, 2002 1:17 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Alternatives to CFCONTENT Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately this won't fix the problem.
