RE: output cf to html
right. but what about when you want to do that but have the people into 3 columns, basically divided by count of maxrows i just cant do it in a group! if i could learn how to use query of a query in this situation. i could get rid of the 12+ separate pages i have. that basically just do what's below here..

Try something with temp variable and see if they change, you should only have to loop though the query once: ex: query SELECT state, city, firstName, lastName FROM myTable ORDER BY state, city, firstName, lastName /query Cfset statetemp = cfset citytemp = cfset firstnametemp = cfoutput query=myQuery cfif state neq statetemp #state#br cfset statetest = state cfif cfif city neq citytemp ---#citybr cfset citytemp=city /cfif cfif firstName neq firstNametemp --#firstName#br cfset firstNametemp = firstName /cfif -#lastName#br /cfoutput -- Sam -Original Message- From: Bryan Love [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 5:16 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: output cf to html example query...

Just schedule it on your CF server in Administration Tools. Delete the original file Create a new file Write the report + html coding to the file. Or am I missing the point?

RE: output cf to html
This is your most reliable option (CFschedule is flaky). At the top of the page that displays the report (report.cfm) put this line: cfset today = dateFormat(now(),mm_dd_yy) cfset fileName = #expandPath(./)#/report_#today#.htm cfif NOT fileExists(#fileName#) !--- query --- !--- loop through the query and create a string representing the entire HTML report--- cffile action=write file=#fileName# output=#htmlString# cflocation url=report.cfm /cfif cfinclude template=report_#today#.htm You may experience problems with the file not being registered with the file system after creating it the first time. This may lead to the page looping 2 or 3 times before it realizes the file exists. If this happens just remove the cflocation and put a META refresh on the page with a message like loading report Give it a 5 second reload time and you'll be set. This way the html report will be created fresh the first time it is called each day. +---+ Bryan Love Macromedia Certified Professional Internet Application Developer Database Analyst Telecommunication Systems [EMAIL PROTECTED] +---+ ...'If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace'... - Thomas Paine, The American Crisis -Original Message- From: Paul Ihrig [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 2:35 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: output cf to html I have this Huge Honking report written in cf it shows exactly what i want. but i don't want a user to run this report every time they hit the page. i would like to know how to have cf-server run the page... but just save it to html every night. so that it gets updated basically once a day. instead of hitting the db every time some one views the cfm page.. any ideas? -paul __ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists

simple lesson in query grouping...
