.. I'd be really suspect that there's something wrong, but I'd have to see
the code to make any really intelligent comments about it... On cf5 you
might want to build yourself a rudimentary progress bar that outputs a
little bit of the data from the current record being updated, so you can see
that it's moving forward. You can do this using some fairly simple
javascript and <cfflush>
<form><textarea></textarea></form>
<cfloop ...>
<script language="javascript">
document.forms[0].elements[0].value =
"#jsstringformat(myprogressvariable)#";
</script><cfflush>
</cfloop>
