You could setup your server to recognize .xls files a Cold Fusion files, in
just one directory so things don't get too screwy. Then, call you cfm file
MY_FILE.XLS, and simply have that file open and output your XLS file. You
may also want to include an excel type content type header, using cfheader.
I've done this in Perl/UNIX before, where I called a Perl script
whatever.html, and made it executable. That way, it's saved by the user
with the proper extension.
