Thanks Kola, I have checked that the query returns multiple records - and it does. I am using CF5. I can write & read the xml file - but as you suggest the <cfloop..> is getting ignored (I think). This is my xml file - <xmp> <?xml version="1.0" ?> - <stock_levels> <CustomerID>1</CustomerID> - <stock_details> - <cfloop query="get_data"> <item ProductCode="A8-1" ProductDescription="As A Matther of Fact (32)" StockLevel="4992" /> </cfloop> </stock_details> </stock_levels> </xmp>
Any help gratefully received (I tried cfsavecontent but can't get the stuff within the cfloop to get interpreted) At 22:27 11/12/02 , you wrote: >Seamus > >I think your problem is that you have coldfusion tags inside the string >being set to tempxml and is thus being ignored instead of interpreted. >What version of cf are you using?
