You could try using CFHTTP. >From livedocs.macromedia.com http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/tags-p58.htm#wp1632966 Building a query from a delimited text file The cfhttp tag can create a ColdFusion query object form the response body. To do so, the response body must consist of lines of text, with each line having fields that are delimited by a character that identifies the column breaks. The default delimiter is a comma (,). The response data can also use a text qualifier; the default is a double quotation mark ("). If you surround a string field in the text qualifier, the field can contain the delimiter character. To include the text qualifier in field text, escape it by using a double character. The following line shows a two-line request body that is converted into a query. It has three comma-delimited fields: Field1,Field2,Field3 "A comma, in text","A quote: ""Oh My!""",Plain text Run the following code to show how ColdFusion treats this data: <cfhttp method="Get" url="127.0.0.1:8500/tests/escapetest.txt" name="onerow"> <cfdump var="#onerow#"><br> Column names can be specified in three ways: * By default, ColdFusion uses the first row of the response as the column names. * If you specify a comma-delimited columns attribute, ColdFusion uses the names specified in the attribute as the column names. Set firstRowAsHeaders="No" if the first row of the response contains data. Otherwise, ColdFusion ignores the first row. * If you do not specify a columns attribute and set firstrowasheaders="No", ColdFusion generates column names of the form Column_1, Column2, etc. The cfhttp tag checks to ensure that column names in the data returned by the tag start with a letter and contain only letters, numbers, and underscores (_). ColdFusion checks for invalid column names. Column names must start with a letter. The remaining characters can be letters, numbers, or underscores (_). If a column name is not valid, ColdFusion generates an error. hth, larry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware: a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
