Hi Thomas... you got a small typo in there....if you cut and paste your code
from the email into studio, it is at line #166
<cfset TheString "#TheColValue#">
should be
<cfset TheString = "#TheColValue#">
Looks pretty cool!

NAME: CF_Query2Excel
AUTHOR: Ali Taleb
DATE: 3 March 2000
REV: 4/4/2001 Thomas Chiverton, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Improved error handerling for blank fields in rows
Takes note of Headers setting and uses that to order columns
DESCRIPTION:
Cold Fusion custom tag to dump the result of an SQL select query
to a downloadable Microsoft Excel spreadsheet which can have alternating row
colors.
USAGE EXAMPLE (1):
<CF_Query2Excel Query="GetEmployees">
USAGE EXAMPLE (2):
<CF_Query2Excel Query="GetEmployees"
Headers="Firt Name, Last Name, Date of Birth"
AlternatColor = "ff0000">
USAGE EXAMPLE (3):
<CF_Query2Excel Query="GetEmployees"
AlternatColor = "green">
Where 'GetEmployees' is the query name.
ATTRIBUTES:
Query - (Required) Name of query to be converted to Excel.
Headers - (Optional) Comma delimited list of coloumn header names.
Defaults to all
query fields.
Message - (Optional) Prompt link message to download the Excel File.
Defaults to
'Download Results to Excel'.
AlternateColor - (Optional) The rows can have alternating colours, white and
a second colour
defined by this attribute. Default is 'White'.
IMPORTANT: - As this tag invokes a download dialogue window (and hence
not allow the actual page
calling it to be displayed), It is best to place it in a
...cfm page containing just
the query followed by the tag, and then linking to that
page with an HTML link.
- The 'AlternateColor' Attribute MUST NOT begin with the
number symbol '#', otherwise
an error will be generated. There is no means of rectifying
this in ColdFusion 4.01.
as the problem is giving the custom tag attribute variable
a value preceeding
with '#', rather than just deleting the symbol which is an
easy thing to do.
As an example, For red you can type: AlternateColor = "red"
or AlternateColor = "ff0000"
but NOT AlternateColor = "#ff0000".
