Subject: generating an excel spreadsheet from CF

Hi

I am trying to determine the best way to create an excel spreadsheet.

Currently we have either written a comma delimited file or created an
html
table and used cfcontent to give it a mimetype which excel recognises.

The problem is that spreadsheets generated this way tend to be quite
large.
Unfourtently we have a client who despite our advice would like to be
able
to
generate an excel spreadsheet with around 11k rows.

Are there any other ways? I've had a look at cfcomet and it appears you
can
use ADO on the server to generate a spreadsheet however it would appear
that
this requires excel on the server which our sysadmin people refuse to do
for
security reasons.

Is there a better way? DO i actually need excel on the server to use
ADO?

Thanks

Kola
