Thanks for all the tips. The <CFSILENT> did output all the data on the same line of the .xls file.
After a lot of trial and error, the only way I got it to remove the extra lines while not outputting all the data on one line is by taking out all the spaces within (and between) the <cfcontent> and <cfoutput> tags EXCEPT for leaving one space before the </cfoutput> tag. Now only if I can find a way to include or write the column headers at the top of the top spreadsheet. Any ideas? (And thanks Bryan for the "To # or not to #" reminder! I'm embarrassed that I included those in my code.) -----Original Message----- From: Jared Rypka-Hauer - CMG, LLC [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 14, 2005 5:20 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Creating .xls files with column headers Adrian, I just read your response in a little deeper detail and noticed that you have: <cfoutput>#content#</cfoutput> That's going to send Excel a string that looks like this: contentcontentcontentcontentcontent That's not going to work either... the line breaks in the code need to be exactly as you want Excel to receive them. Under your example they'll all end up on one line.
