I would have to see what your custom tag is but I would think either you are
using cfhttp to do everythign or you are using wscript. Either way there is
gonna be a way to do it, so if you would be so kind as to send me your code
so that I may evaluate a way to do this.

Actually you can mix the two, and I have developed a custom tag that can do
something like the following
<cf_IncludeScript [filename="whatever" /]>
<%
a=1
b=2
c=3
%>
</cf_IncludeScript>
Which would then execute the ASP from within the cfml template, the only
problem is that I haven't found a way to share the result with CF. But I
could do something like the following without any problems.
<cfset strTest="Hello">
<cf_IncludeScript [filename="whatever" /]>
<%
a=1
b=2
c=3
<cfoutput>#strTest#</cfoutput>
%>
</cf_IncludeScript>
But I haven't had the time to learn enough about ASP, to take the variables
from ASP tp Coldfusion.... So if anyone has any ideas to develop this
further I would like to hear from you.

Hi Terry,
To answer your first question, yes, CF and ASP can coexist on the server,
there are no problems having a mix of ColdFusion and ASP pages within a
site, however, I'm pretty certain you can forget sharing Session and
Application variables between these environments. But you could pass
variables through on URL's.
We tend to write CF only sites now, while we used to be mainly ASP
developers, however we've never needed to mix the two.
Hope this helps a little bit. Feel free to contact me off list if you have
any further questions.
Nick
