Cheers Matt,

Yep, I have tried this but with over 2,500 lines of code it can crash Excel
by hanging it.  I am thinking I will just save out the table of data to a
txt file and then get it to be imported into Excel like Steve uses.

export to Excel bung this in the top of your report page

<CFIF isdefined("form.submitit")>
         <CFHEADER name="Content-Disposition" 
value="Filename=Foo#rand()#z.xls">
         <CFCONTENT type="application/vnd.ms-excel">
</CFIF>
         <FORM name="Test" method="post" action="MyPage.cfm">
                 <INPUT type="hidden" name="submitit">
                 <INPUT type="submit" value="Excel ">
         </FORM>

where Mypage.cfm is the report page
