We had the same problem. We found that anything over 50000 was crashing our server using the old school cfloop over a variable. Check out cflib.org <http://cflib.org> and search for this QueryToCSV2 It uses JAVA and the toString method. It reduced our export time by about 2000% and now I have succesfully exported recordsets as large as 500000 records. Qasim Rasheed is the guy who wrote it, it rules and he is the man. =]
