How complex of an "Excel" file? Can the data be represented by a simple comma or tab delimitated CSV file? If so to would be pretty easy to build such a file in ColdFusion and mail it anywhere you like. For most people .csv is a native format to Excel, it would automatically open with that software.
If you need a full blown .xls binary file, that is much more of a challenge. I've heard there is a custom tag that may help, but I've never used it. I've done COM object stuff with Excel and Word before, but that is difficult, requires the office software to run on the server and is vary fragile. This is a solution to be avoided if at all possible. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA --------- | 1 | | --------- Binary Soduko | | | --------- "C code.
