Depending on the version of CF and OS, different ways would be preferable. Assuming they haven't disabled cfobject though, using the Scripting.FileSystemObject (GetFile() or OpenTextFile()), or java.io.FileReader will both work.

If you would want to see them let me know. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tuesday, January 7, 2003, 4:57:00 AM, you wrote: RB> I can use CFExecute on my host.
