David,
Thank you, this is what I needed. Due to budget limitations I have to
find a way to do this with ColdFusion 4.0. Any ideas on how to read an
HTTP Post without using form variables, CFHTTP or CFFILE? (Remember, our
customer is sending the XML file as an HTTP post)
Thanks again for your help and for all the previous responses.
