(Plus I don't think Bob likes being deserialized.) If you're using cfsavecontent to generate the xml packet, and your xml is valid (in the source) I would guess that it's not being written to the output buffer either because it's inside a pair of <cfsilent> tags or because you've got <cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="true"> somewhere above the cfsavecontent tag. I would start by putting a pair of cfoutput tags around your cfsavecontent tags. If that doesn't work, then you must be inside cfsilent tags and you'll need to locate those and figure out how to save your packet outside of them, or save the packet using cfset or <cffile action="read"> hth s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
