Ian, Just out of interest, how much data are we talking about? Roughly? DB size, tables, rows etc. My web service suggestion was really based on the idea that data was returned immediately but after reading your other post I'm less sold on my own idea ;-)
Can you go into a little more depth about you current use case, so, a user comes to the site, completed an HTML form about the data they want from you, you then process that data and package it into an email for them, and you're looking to automate that process a little more? Is that correct? Rob -----Original Message----- From: Ian Skinner [mailto:h...@ilsweb.com] Sent: 23 April 2009 16:25 To: cf-talk Subject: Re: YIKES!

To discuss what and how the system could be improved and how much effort such a project might take. The web services idea is a good one, I'll definitely put it on the list for discussion. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:321859 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
