I've tried several variations on the frames theme - visible frame loads "your report is being created" page - invisible frame triggers the report generation page This works, but to remove the frames, there's a link in the display page with TARGET="_top". However, when you click that link, it takes *forever* to go to the next page. - visible frame redirects with JavaScript to the "your report is being created" page - invisible frame triggers the report generation page This works, but takes an age to do the JS redirect. My next thought was to try using CFX_HTTP with VERB="head" instead of CFHTTP on the trigger template. Presumably that will start the process without having to wait for the body to be returned. And until I can get a copy of CFX_HTTP, I'll give Alistair's suggestion a go. -- Aidan Whitehall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Macromedia ColdFusion Developer Fairbanks Environmental +44 (0)1695 51775 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
