Working perfectly, thanks. I wish the Adobe documentation was a little better, or gave more examples. I'm sure opening/saving the actual file is used quite a bit. Thanks again for the help.

That's a common problem w/documentation. &nbsp;It's too focused on explaining the single tag or function. Not enough common usage examples that show how to tie different things together. &nbsp;I understand why ... it's involved. Takes a lot of time to put together good examples. (Nothing worse than a bad or broken example). Still .. would be nice to see more of them.

(For the archives) Typo correction. The 2nd example should be:<br />
<br />
&lt;cfset theSheet = SpreadSheetNew()&gt;<br />
... add query data to sheet ...<br />
&lt;cfheader name=&quot;Content-Disposition&quot;<wbr /> value=&quot;attachment; filename=someName.xls&quot; &gt;<br />
&lt;cfcontent type=&quot;application/vnd.msex<wbr />cel&quot; <b>variable</b>=&quot;#SpreadSheetReadBinary(t<wbr />heSheet)#&quot;<wbr /> &gt;
</div>

<cfset theSheet = SpreadSheetNew()>
... add query data to sheet ...
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment; filename=someName.xls" >
<cfcontent type="application/vnd.msexcel" variable="#SpreadSheetReadBinary(theSheet)#" >

Just getting back into CF after a long layoff of about 10 years!<br />
<br />
Trying out the cfspreadsheet tag. I have a query, and I am able to get the xls file to be saved on my server - I just want a prompt displayed for the user to either open or save the file - can this be done with cfspreadsheet?? <br />
<br />
Thanks for any help!

ColdFusion is a server-side rapid application development platform originally created by Allaire and now sold by Adobe, implementing the dynamic general purpose CFML programming language. The term ColdFusion is sometimes colloquially used to refer to the CFML language (Cold Fusion Markup Language), but can also include discussions of the server software implementation. ColdFusion runs using a customised version of Apache Tomcat. Earlier versions are bundled with JRun.
