I've been dabbling in C#, and from what I know so far (limited!) it sounds like turning the C# program into a web service is the way to go, since you stated you are returning a few variables. Why serialize them into WDDX and write it out to a file and create extra overhead? Just use the cfinvoke tag to connect to the web service and retrieve the variables. Here's an easy to understand beginner's tutorial on creating a web service with C#: http://abstractvb.com/code.asp?A=1006 If I remember correctly, a C# program, even if it's "web-enabled", can still be used as a windows or console app, but don't hold me to that! -- Andy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
