We are using CF 5.0 to generate some pretty complex report output from answer sets we return from DB2 and Oracle. One of our requirements is to allow users to save the final formatted report output to Excel and to text files on their workstations (either directly in place of sending output to the browser or after having received it in the browser). We are an inTRAnet MS shop that has standardized on MSIE 6.0 and Office XP, though we are in transition from MSIE 5.01/5.5 and Office 97 . . .
I've seen and I've played with the usual cfcontent examples for dumping query results to Excel and text files and they work fine for that purpose, however we manipulate the answer sets before generating the reports and for our final formatted report output these examples fall short. I've also seen the examples (Ben Forta's WACK) for using Microsoft's Excel-HTML that Excel can import as a .xls file. I need to look at this more, but I'm concerned about the additional overhead considering the large number of reports we have. Is anyone using this MS Excel-HTML approach? What other approaches are people using to dump their HTML reports into Excel and text files? (XML is not an option for us right now . . .) Thanks!
