Steve, thank you for your guidance.
To be honest I don't understand the detail-concept of this tag.
Thomas Frey (Tag-Writer) wrote in his manual the following:

Send the results of a query named "Test" to an existing Excel template named
TEST.XLS in the C:\TEMPLATES directory on the Web server. Start the query
results at Row 5, Column 2 on "MySheet":
<CFX_Excel Query="Test"
           File="C:\XLS\OUTPUT.XLS"
           Workbook="C:\TEMPLATES\TEST.XLS"
           Worksheet="MySheet"
           Row="5"
           Col="2">
<cfcontent type="application/msexcel"
           deletefile="YES"
           file="C:\XLS\OUTPUT.XLS">

There he tells of an EXISTING excel-file. (see above)
What I want to do is to overwrite an EXISTING worksheet in an EXISTING
xls-file.
The manual-example (above) didn't bring me any further. In my understanding
the FILE and Workbook can just have the same absolute path and file e.g.:
c:\test\test.xls
But this is not working as well.

Uwe
