I would suggest using cfcontent to a file on the server then providing a
link to it for the client to click on. You could also set the cfcontent tag
for download, which would make the excel file and then prompt them to
download it in one step.

Subject: How can I use CF to push data into a statistical package or an
Ex cel spreadsheet?
Folks,
I have a CF application that conducts a survey by presenting a varying
series of questions to the user and then storing the answers in an Oracle
database. I have another CF application for the administrator of the survey
that displays on a web page a summary of the answers for each question (e.g.
23 respondents answered A, 47 respondents answered B, etc.).
I allow the survey administrator to click on a hyperlink next to each
question on the summary web page and that link is supposed to send the
question, each given answer, and the number of respondents for each answer
over to Excel from which a pie chart can be generated.
My question is: How do I take that data and get it into Excel on the
client's machine?
Any suggestions? Or even suggestion about where to look to research this
problem? Or is there another approach any one would care to point out to
graphing my survey responses instead of Excel?
Thanks,
-- Tim Dempsey
