I don't know what the original WebDNA you showed was meant to do, but I agree that the idea in general is to do long, time-consuming processes (like big searches with lots of activity inside them) entirely inside a Spawn.In general there are *very* few cases where you would ever need to use Spawn. We created it primarily to help us with some time-consuming WebMerchant code that would wait 15-30 seconds for a credit card to process.Technical Support | ==== eCommerce and Beyond ==== Pacific Coast Software | WebCatalog, WebMerchant, 11770 Bernardo Plaza Court | SiteEdit Pro, PhotoMaster, San Diego, CA 92128 | Typhoon 619/675-1106 Fax: 619/675-0372 | http://www.smithmicro.com/ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
