Re: query output to Excel file
Tony, You can do anything you need to do in the cf template, writing it out as you would normal html. Excel can open an html file (formatted like a table) and it will function exactly like excel. The following code will trick the browser into thinking it's dealing with excel: CFHEADER NAME=Content-Disposition VALUE=attachment; filename=sample.xls CFCONTENT TYPE=application/excel If you're going to email the file to someone, I would think that you could use cffile to write the content (using cfsavecontent to build the page). -Deanna - Original Message - From: Tony Weeg [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2003 10:13 AM Subject: RE: query output to Excel file trouble is, I cant do it all in 1 query, I have cf logic that HAS to be there, and it is then emailed to a client :( so, is there a way to take a cfquery object that is returned, and just dump that into something, and send it, versus writing line by line by line tony weeg sr. web applications architect navtrak, inc.

Re: query output to Excel file
Yep, but I've found it's easier to format it in HTML. You can do some funky things - like using Excels native number formats (in other words, getting a number that starts with a zero to show the zero in excel), highlighting various columns, etc. It depends on what you need to do. -d - Original Message - From: Tony Weeg [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2003 10:55 AM Subject: RE: query output to Excel file but I could in the same light, write the data as comma delimited inside a cfsavecontent? and then from there...dump the data in the cfsavecontent into the cffile, as one file system hit? tony weeg sr. web applications architect navtrak, inc.
