I actually do this because I often have some additional processing that takes place between the query statements. An example might be where I update a structure to contain a max ID that I retrieved for one of the inserts. If there is some other problem in other logic, cftransaction won't catch it. Another thing I might do is retry something once or twice if the error happens to be a db connection timeout. Helps avoid sending the "please retry" message back to the user. This requires me to catch the error type. David Schmidt ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
