The way that logic reads, the Application.TimeStamp will always be "less than" 20 the first time the application is loaded--so your CFHTTP tag will never run. Change the code to something like: <cfif not structKeyExists(Application, "TimeStamp") or (dateDiff("n", Application.TimeStamp, now()) gt 20)> <cfset Application.TimeStamp = now() /> <cfhttp url="http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/id/3314.xml" method="GET" resolveurl="No"></cfhttp> <cfset Application.weather_xml = xmlParse(cfhttp.FileContent) /> </cfif> There's no need to convert your Application.TimeStamp variable to any specific formatting--you can just set it to now(). -Dan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:295321 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
