What he's describing is either executing a long-running query without interrupting page delivery (if the query results aren't needed for display), and/or executing multiple queries simultanously (which may or may not be "long running"). But as the API for asynch doesn't natively provide the ability to return a response from the gateway to the calling page (something Sean's tools are designed to accomplish), the gateway isn't really designed with the intent of gathering content needed to deliver the current request. Rather it's designed primarily for features such as logging application activity to a database which can sometimes slow page delivery without providing any content for the user during the current request. In a nutshell, the asynch gateway is essentially designed as a "fire and forget" tool. 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.
