That's good to know. I've never really looked at scheduled tasks properly before and I've just noticed that administrator has a timeout option which I can set. If I set this to 5 minutes I should be pretty safe to run it in the background.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I'm in the eleventh hour on this project and thinking in a straight line is beyond me now :)

Cheers, Pete (aka lad4bear)

The asynch gateway call is still a request - and CF will, by default, kill
and request that seems to be hung.

You can easily set the request timeout on a page-by-page basis however.  For
one log file parser I built in CF 4.5 we had the request timeout set to an
hour.

Didn't seem to bother anything.
