Going with the attachment setting can work nicely, but if the client has certain security settings enabled, this may still fail. Of course, if you can predict your client's configuration (an internal app for your organization where your company sets the config etc), then this could be moot.
Otherwise, you might want to go ahead and do a cfsavecontent on the entire output, write the content to a permanent file (which you can delete later), and redirect the client to a page with a link to download the saved file. This has been the only way I've found to reliably get around some of the IE security settings. Cheers, Kris > I originally was gonna use Ben's POI utility.
