I've done something similar before with a txt file, I used CFFILE READ, gave it a variable name looped through the varname and extracted my data using <CFSET newLine=Chr(13) & Chr(10)> as the loop delimeter, but I think xls is slightly different format. Could there possibly be a custom tag for this, any advice would be greatly appreciated, Respectfully, J ______________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
