I generate OpenXML docs from within the admin app. They're fairly easy
to store in the db as well. I do this as then I can edit them online
and then zip them up when I need them. I'd recommend spending the time
to get your head around OpenXML, though that does depend on whether
you're looking for CSV+abitofmetadata or an actual Excel document.
