Dear Russ, I'm so happy that you've continued this tread with me. THANKS!
On this list in the past, it's been said that CFFILE is the wrong way to go with large files. That it wasn't designed for that. I've seen CFFILE load the entire file into memory before it would write it to the hard drive. My clients want to move print files that are 60 megs + . It looks like you've got a lot of control with SAFileUp that you don't have with CFFILE, like setting the buffer size for the file, etc. I, too, use CFFILE extensively, I'm just a little afraid of it in this particular application. So if you know of a way for CF to talk to the SAFileUp COM object, coherently or if you know of another method for handling LARGE files, I listening . . . .
