I never noticed the schedule later box. If I set it up to run at 4 AM does it get ran like a scheduled task in windows?

I will dump the table of the previous days info, open the file with CF and some how loop over its contents and insert into the table. Should I even attempt to do this with CF or see if there is something in SQL 2000 that could handle it better/faster? > > Thanks, > > Phillip Broussard > Tracker Marine Group > 417-873-5957 > > > > ______________________________________________________________________ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
