This is how I did it:

<cfset output = "">

/*** The spaces in the next line of code are not spaces, they're tabs
***/
<cfset output = output & "Overnite/Next Day     Request Date    Dealer
Office  Dealer Name     Address1        Address2        Address3
City    State   Postal Code     Repid   Reason  Statements      Sheets
Images  Comments">
<cffile action="write" file="#request.excelfilepath#" 
output="#output#"
nameconflict="overwrite">

<cfloop query="getreprints">
        <cfset output = "">
        /*** Again, not spaces, but tabs ***/
        <cfset output = output & "#yesnoformat(overnite)#
#dateformat(requestdate,'mm/dd/yyyy')#  #trim(dealeroffice)#
#trim(dealername)#      #trim(address1)#        #trim(address2)#
#trim(address3)#        #trim(city)#    #trim(state)#
#trim(postalcode)#      #trim(repid)#   #reason#        #statements#
#sheets#        #pages# #trim(comments)#">
        <cffile action="append" file="#request.excelfilepath#"
output="#output#">
</cfloop>

Hope that helps.

Mark
