Thanks, but I think this is more-or-less what's already happening. Specify report criteria -> Insert database record with all report parameters -> Framed page (i) "Your report is being created. Click here to return to the application." (ii) Invisible frame source calls report generation page via CFHTTP. Passes ReportID. CreateReport.cfm Creates report based on ReportID value passed as form field. The report is written as an HTML string to a .cfm file stored on the server. The filename is then written to the report record in the db. View Reports Does a db query and lists all reports that have a "FileCreated" flag set to true (so you can't view reports that have only just been specified but which haven't yet been created). Frame source (i) takes a while to load (more than the few seconds it would take if it was on its own). On it, there's one link with TARGET="_top" in it, to remove the invisible frames. When you click on that link, it takes *forever* to load the next page. It seems to take as long to load that page as it takes to generate the report. Maybe that's just because I'm working on the development box. Trouble is, I can't upload it to the better-specced production box until I'm sure it's all working OK.
