I am using CFEXECUTE to run a command line utility on Windows 2000. I use the outputfile attribute, and it does create a text file with the correct output in it. ColdFusion does have full access permissions to the directory where the file resides. However, I cannot read the file with CFFILE. The error message I get says that the file is locked. I tried putting in a delay between the CFEXECUTE and the CFFILE, but nothing seems to work - not even a 20 second delay. There is a bug report (19123) that mentions this issue, but it was supposed to be fixed in the release version of CF5. I am running the most recent release. Anyone have advice on how to resolve this? Code: <cfexecute name="c:\winnt\addusers.exe" arguments="#domain# /c f:\temp\usermagr\adduser.txt" outputfile="f:\temp\usermagr\output.txt"></cfexecute> <cffile action="READ" file="f:\temp\usermagr\output.txt" variable="results"> -Mike ------------------------------ Michael Sprague Web Developer, Hamilton College 198 College Hill Road Clinton, NY 13323 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 315-859-4087 http://www.hamilton.edu ------------------------------ Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
