Thanks, Mike and Mary Jo... Questions:
I'm not able to think of how to code a task to "call" another... nothing's coming to mind. How would I accomplish that? Also, the logic to insure a previous task completed... such as a variable that is set to "true" or something like that? And, Mary Jo, concerning rollback...would cftransaction be appropriate? The processes aren't dependent upon one another, they are just long-running and rather processor intensive so I don't want any concurrent tasks running. If I were to put all tasks into one long file and put them into a single named thread, would that be a good approach? Problems with that? Thanks for the suggestions!
