As far as I know (and I could be wrong) No, but that said its fairly easy to convert a query to a CSV. There's several UDF's at CFLib that can convert queries to CSV's: QueryToCSV (CF5) http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm?ID=556 QueryToCSV2 (CFMX) http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm?ID=1197 - uses the Java StringBuffer Class in java.lang package - much faster than regular string manipulation CSVFormat (CF5) http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm?ID=404 hth, larry -- Larry C.
