Basically, yes, although I wouldn't really think of it in terms of whether or not the browser is involved, it's more to do with the current running thread on the server that is processing the page...it starts a new thread that will call the query which will run independent of the rest of your code and will not have to wait for it to complete before passing the results back to the browser, it sort of just skips over that and keeps running while the new thread is off running at the same time in parallel. The end result being that the page will not take any longer to run as far as the user is concerned than a typical update would. It's something you want to be judicious about using, as you don't want to overtax a server by constantly creating new threads...but it's a nice solution for a situation like this where you have a small number of users that will be only be updating the tables once in awhile. --- Mary Jo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:304245 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
