One thing you might consider is that Excel opens HTML files quite nicely. Ie, build a plain ol HTML table, format the headers however you want, and save it as an .xls file - I do this all the time with my flash RIA's... they call a web service that generates such a file, saves it using cffile with an .xls extension, then returns the link to the .xls file.
The other benefit is that you can do all kinds of stuff this way... if your "Excel" document starts as an html file, Excel will actually keep it that way... you can add formulas and everything in Excel, then save it again... and it actually puts everything into special tag attributes and styles... which you can then view (rename it to a .txt file) and generate the spreadsheet with those attributes. - Rick -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
