>What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Thanks for your reply.
I'm using CFDOCUMENT enclosed in an exclusive CFLOCK to create a _BIG_ PDF file in a shared server environment. Under typical server load it takes around 30 seconds or so to create the PDF. However, sometimes it can take much longer -- or forever (literally). To keep the user amused while they wait, they get to watch a progress bar thingy. A javascript redirects to an ERROR screen after 60 seconds. While "USER A" is waiting for her PDF to be created I would like to prevent "USERS B,C,D..." from queing requests and display a "PLEASE WAIT" message or something. That's why I want to know when the CFLOCK is released. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:218089 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
