I don't think the problem is binding to lastResult. The code works. When I use my third tier to capture the data and insert it into my SQL table, it works like a charm. When I return to the main page, the data isn't there. If I close the application and start it again, the data shows. I'm pretty sure this is a cache issue. I'm using a url built on the fly. I'm just a little confused on how HTTPService handles multiple .send(); calls. Is there a way to clear the HTTPService cache or am I not understanding and something else needs to be done?
