I had to do the same (with the help of someone else on this list) for test 
gathering a while back,
and someone on this list was nice enough to help.  Hopefully the following 
code will give you some
ideas. As I remember this acts a little different with NS and IE. I also 
save the info to a local file
for back up.

In general the idea is to sen the output to a file using CFHEADER and CFCONTENT

I believe file has to be in the d:/Inetpub/wwwroot/..... format

Good Luck,

Nick

Step 1 Extract data
         <CFQUERY NAME="GenerateExcel" DATASOURCE="WhereDataIs">
         </CFQUERY>

Step 2 Determine browser
<cfif ReFind("MSIE",cgi.HTTP_USER_AGENT)>
         <cfheader name="Content-type" value="unknown">
<cfelse>
  <cfheader name="Content-type" value="application/msexcel">
</cfif>

Step 3 Output
<cfheader name="content-disposition" value="attachment; 
filename=#ExcelFileName#">
<CFCONTENT TYPE="application/msexcel" reset="yes">

<cfoutput query="GenerateExcel">
Output formated data
</cfoutput>
