We have an application that uses CF to query DB2 and Oracle and then massage
the answer sets into pretty sophisticated reports that we display in MSIE
(6.0). Some reports require landscape orientation for print.

Users want to be able to print landscape reports without having to set the
orientation of the page in print setup (they want the application to handle
this transparently). Users also want to be able to save the contents of the
report to Excel(XP), to tab delimited text files and to CSV text files.

Is it feasible, and does it make sense, to use CF to create the basic report
output in XML and then use that same output to generate the other formats -
the HTML, the Excel, the tab delimited and the CSV?

How would you do this?

(Currently we are on CF 5.0, but we plan to migrate to CFMX after Redsky is
released.)

Thanks!

George
