Also, I remember seeing a <cf_sleep> tag on the tag gallery at one point.

Are you talking about synchonous waiting, e.g. the app performs some action, waits a specified number of time intervals, then performs the next action? If so, this would be pretty simple to implement inline code using CF's current date/time functions and looping. You could make an include file out of something like: NOTE: this is *NOT* tested... FOR CONCEPT ONLY!!! <cfparam name="wait_datepart" default="s"> <cfparam name="wait_interval" default="0"> <cfscript> wait_newdate = DateAdd(wait_datepart, wait_interval, Now()); while (Now() LT wait_newdate) { //why do anything? =-) } </cfscript> You would set the values for wait_datepart and wait_interval just before including the file. Any particular reason you'd like to do this? :-\ --IronFury On Wed, 20 February 2002, "Palyne Gaenir" wrote: > > Do you suppose CF is ever going to come up with something that > lets time in execution be manipulated?
