I have a query that I was using cfcontent and cfheader to output to an excel file. I think that cfreport can do that but i don't get it. Does it require reports to be created though the Report Builder? Of not, will this work?
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <cfreport format="Excel" query="Request.qProjects" name="projectResults" filename="ProjectQueryResults">
And if it doesn't require Report Builder and I use this code, how can I call that report (how can I code a link or button to download that report)?

I hate Adobe Live docs on this tag since they aren't clear enough for me.

THANKS!!

You may find this guide from the Coldfusion Developer's Guide more useful.
