I have tried a few ways to export from CF to Excel. I tried a basic query and used <cfcontent> to download the file. I tried <cfreport>. They both seem to work fine but a security warning pops up on the client computer when the file is opened. It seems to only come up on computers running Office 07. Here is the message:
"The file you are trying to open, 'dataFile.xls' is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?" If you hit yes it opens fine. I am just concerned that this will confuse users and they will not open it. Any suggestions on how to stop this besides client side security settings in Excel? Thanks. __________________________ Steve Sequenzia Thinksys Incorporated 1613 E Livingston St Orlando, FL 32803 866.633.3000 x305 407.459.1305 Direct 866.892.3000 Help Desk 407.895.3338 Fax -----Original Message----- From: Steve Sequenzia [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 11, 2007 10:11 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Exporting from ColdFuion to a Excel file Can someone please give me some insight into exporting data to excel using CF8.
