Depends if you want that "Action complete" message. Another option would be to use cfhttp, then when the page is complete it updates a field in the database, and you get your calling page to use remote scripting to query that data every few seconds until the process is complete. You'd need a remote scripting tool (such as my one http://eswsoftware.com/srs/ but there are many others) for this. But it's probably just making things unnecessarily complex.

I seem to remember that a timeout of 0 causes your page to wait as long as necessary for the request to finish before continuing, so be careful ;-) Apparently Blackstone is supposed to have Asynchronous CFML Gateways that make this sort of thing a lot more elegant: http://www.dcooper.org/Blog/client/index.cfm?mode=entry&entry=24BEF3D6-4E22- 1671-55146EEC011D18D4 -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Walker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 20 January 2005 9:32 a.m. To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: CF calling a page itself How about loading the page into a hidden iframe?

What I really need is just to do some processing in the background but have the presentation send an "Action complete" message to the user instead of timing out. Can anybody help?
