CFFLUSH should do the job, but remember some browsers won't display anything until thier buffer is full. The way to do this before CFFLUSH existed was to put an intermediate page in, lets say your long process happens on a form submission - you make the process look like SUBMIT FORM => "PLEASE WAIT" Page => Process Form where you submit the form to the please wait page, which includes a hidden form to pass the data on to the real processing. In the onload of the please wait page you submit the form. Thus the please wait page will hang about on screen until the processing returns it's data. ______________________________________________________________________ Why Share?
