Indeed, but for sure a DB process will be a hell of a lot faster and more importantly not tie up a thread :-)

That said, you can loop over the file var with cr/lf as your delimiters, and then each loop item, or in this case each row, will be a list. CF has a lot of builtin functions for manipulating lists. > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike Klostermeyer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, July 19, 2006 4:00 PM > > Has anyone ever queried a comma delimited flat file in CF7?
