Ill try this, and had considered it, but when pulling it in with cffile, its going to come as a variable as text, wouldn't it work out the same way, passing the text as sql to the database?
Yes, that is why you need to include it. <cffile action="write" file="path/file.cfm" ...> .... Some other code possibly... <cfinclude template="path/file.cfm"> Because of the limitations of cfinclude, you will need to write the file to a location that can be seen with a relative path by the calling file, aka the file that is writing and reading the file. Or write it to a location that has a coldfusion mapping set in the administrator. One other issue that I thought might be a problem is that if the <cfinclude> is too close the <cffile action="write"...> that it might try reading the file before the OS is done writing it. Not sure how that works. But a delay or creative locking should mitigate this issue. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA "C code. C code run.
