Cfspreadsheet to write to DOWNLOADS folder on loca PC

Depends on the source of the data and whether you need special formatting, but you can find a simple example in the docs. Just update the "fileName" path as needed.


<!--- get some sample data --->
<cfquery name="getCourses" datasource="cfdocexamples">
   SELECT CORNUMBER,DEPT_ID,COURSE_ID,CORNAME
   FROM COURSELIST
</cfquery>

<!--- Write the query to a file --->
<cfspreadsheet action="write"
    filename="c:\path\to\downloadsFolder\someFile.xls"
    query="getCourses"  
    sheetname="courses"
    overwrite="true">

The CF runs on a server and is being access from a local PC.

When creating an Excel using <cfcontent type="application/msexcel"> <cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="filename=Results.xls">, the Results.xls file is always created on the local PC in the Downloads directory.

How can I get the same behavior using CFPSREADsheet but without specifying filename="C:\Users\userName\Downloads" where userName is the user who has activated the CF application?
