How about -
1) Get the recordset from your database as you said
then in the same CF page,
2) Use CFHTTP with a POST operation, something like -
<cfquery name="qry_coordinates" ...>
SELECT Longtitude, latitude, speed
FROM dbo.stats
WHERE veichleID = #relationshipID#
</cfquery>
<cfhttp url="http://www.getMappingServer.com/map.exe">
<cfhttpparam name="longitude" type="formfield"
value="#qry_coordinates.Longitude#">
<cfhttpparam name="latitude" type="formfield"
value="#qry_coordinates.Latitude#">
<cfhttpparam name="speed" type="formfield"
value="#qry_coordinates.speed#">
</cfhttp>
Then you will have a variable called CFHTTP.FileContent containing the
output of getMappingServer.com/map.exe
Have a look in the CFStudio docs for CFHTTP - I'm sure you'll find something
in there that helps.
Good Luck

Subject: Multible http:// requests:
Can anyone help me with this.
>From a database I want to request a recordset,
E.g SELECT Longtitude, latitude, speed
FROM dbo.stats
WHERE veichleID = #relationshipID#
OK I can do this with a select box within a form, but!
I want to send the #lontitude#, #latitude# and #speed# values to a different
server to get a map based on the cordinates, say
""//www.getMappingServer.com/map.exe once I get them.
Now I suspect that my form action like so will not work because the second
http request has nothing to request until it gets the data returned by my
query from my action template.
<form action="getCo-rdinates.cfm?http//www.getMappingServer.com/map.exe>
What is the right way to do this, I'm sure its very simple but I just cannot
think of a solution?
Thank you world!!
