Hi Mike, I won't comment about CF or any other database server, but this is possible with SQL server.
you need to create a link to your distant server first. Then in your example, instead of using a cftransaction and 2 cfquery with different dsn, you'd have something along the line of <cfquery dsn="local"> being tran t1 begin try INSERT into linkedserver.distantdatabase.dbo.table values(...) Update eventrecord SET exportedToRemoteDB = true COMMIT begin catch Update eventrecord SET exportedToRemoteDB = true end catch end try <cfquery> I'm sure ant modern dbms would have a similar mechanism, but I'm very much a sql server fan boy, so it's the only thing I know ;-) as for actual cross-server transactions, you can configure something called DTC (Distributed Transaction Coordinator). It's pretty much an engine that allows a tran between 2 or more linked servers to be shared, and that manages commits and rollbacks as a whole. hope this helps.
