Yup, had a cfgrid that worked perfectly in CF8 and a "to spreadsheet" button below. Hitting the button created a simple excel-sheet marked up in html with minimal inline styles (cfcontent application/vnd.msexcel) opening like I expected in MSOffice. Doing the same thing with OpenOffice gave me gibberish, garbled outputs, plain html (the sourcecode) in the ODS-file. But only after having suggested how to import the text. It never was able to do what I wanted, so I ended up with a plain text-file, delimetered with #Chr(9)# and #Chr(10)# and #Chr(13)# as Linefeed. Everything has to be on one line, otherwise Open Office creates blank rows. Not very readable, manageable or otherwise useful... It functions, but for every creation I have to tell Open Office what the delimeter is...
Any ideas?
