thanks dave, the reason i say it appears as if they are running in the background is because when i run the page and the threads are being started and processing, i notice my jrun processing shooting right up, which is fine, the threads are then joined, their data merged and the page loads - at this point the threads should have finished. jrun memory goes right down but my testing server is extremely slow as if it is doing something in the background. i notice though at this point that the page file usage shoots right up. so basically im not sure what is going on!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:305564 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
