Kevin, how about this scenario? <cfquery name="query1"> Select count(*) from users where lastname like 'smith%' </cfquery>
<cfif query1.count gt 500> Notify users that they have to do a nightly scheduled report. <cfelse> /* run a full-on query */ <cfquery name="query2"> Select lastname, firstname, phone, address, blah blah from users where lastname like 'smith%' </cfquery> </cfif> -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Aebig [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 30, 2005 11:59 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: CF Test One...
