Well, even a sleep routine would have to have some code running checking if it is time to wake up yet... even if it is optimized within CF itself.
Perhaps just write a do while routine... Check the time... set a variable. Loop through checking the time again and again until the desired time has passed. Don't think this would be a huge drain on the system. Probably take up a thread... but as long as all the users aren't sleeping with a thread it should be ok. Also... using the time allows for you to control the sleep time... using a loop for 10,000 times and you will find that the time it sleeps varies as to CF usage and the processor it is running on. hth Brian At 07:19 AM 11/8/02, you wrote: >I am writing a small utility that I send a bunch of stuff through an >outside process with <CFEXECUTE>.
