Hi,

I'm looking for a bit of advice here. I need to send a file across a that
contains the contents of a CF query network and then wait for a return file
and present the contents of this file to the users browser.

No problem with writing the file, simply use CFFILE. The thing is how can I
get it to send it across the network, then wait for the response. My first
instinct is that CF probably isn't the appropriate tool for this kind of a
job as it would have to sit in a loop waiting for a file to read whilst
maintaining a browser connection. So I thought maybe a COM object which CF
can communicate with would be better, but I know nothing about COM objects -
any advice.

Alternatively I thought about writing a file which refreshes itself every 5
seconds, displaying a please wait message to the user and checks the
directory for the file, if it does this 10 times it displays an error to the
user. Is there a better way to do this??

Thanks
Ben,
