If you can break up the script into discrete chunks then you can run them sequentially from a master script that includes each chunk in turn each time it is called. How do you intend to run the script, from a browser or from a scheduled task? The master script will vary depending on which but from a browser it just has to do a self-refresh after a few seconds as the meta-refresh won't happen until the previous script is finished and the page fully loads then. The script then starts into the next section. -- Yours, Kym Kovan mbcomms.net.au ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
