Ian, First... I would var any variables used inside the thread. Second, you should be able to "write" this file using cffile - but I'm not sure why your cfpdf action is not working. But you want to try this code outside your cfthread to see how it behaves - cfthread obscures error information and makes it difficult to troubleshoot :)

Yes there is a thread local scope and one can use the 'Var' keyword, but apparently it is somewhat unnecessary. So this just leaves me trying to control the memory used by the <cfreport...> tag. Instead of writing directly to a file I am putting the <cfreport... output into a variable and then attempting to write that file out. This seems to be working for the memory now, the memory is released and cleaned up between each batch during the sleep period to the throttle the report generation. But the files are not actually being written! Should this work? BUILD REPORT ---> <cfreport template="ren.cfr" format="pdf" overwrite="yes" name="vReportLetter"> <cfreportparam name="pFirmNo" value=#ResultFirms["firmno"][threadIndex]#> <cfreportparam name="pIssueDate" value=#DateFormat(pIssueDate, 'mm/dd/yy')#> <cfreportparam name="pRenewalId" value=#vRenewalSeq#> </cfreport> <cfset arrayAppend(variables.pdfFiles,vOutputFilePath)> <cfpdf action="write" source="#vReportLetter#" destination="#vOutputFilePath#" overwrite="yes"> Or do I just use a <cffile action="write"...> tag. Isn't that just for text files or can I write out binary output like a PDF file? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:307677 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
