Have your ASP page store the request in a database, and have your background process pick up new requests from the database. You can send a confirmation email when the background process has completed. Alternatively, you could look into MSMQ instead.

The trick is that there exists a backgroud process that creates profile and directories and userAccounts..etc and that takes a long time. what i need is to make this work in the background by the time the user has recieved his Id and left my web application. the process that works in the backgroud could be an ASP Page that calls a Dll or a vb script that calls a DLL or an exe. Another related question: if on insert i fire a trigger in SQL Server 2000, does the application wait for the trigger to complete or it just inserts the record and continues. I was thinking of making use of sql server to fire a trigger that makes a call for shell command if that works and i think sql server supports. Any suggestions on these? thanks --- You are currently subscribed to activeserverpages as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to %%email.unsub%% --- You are currently subscribed to activeserverpages as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
