File Creation

[Vbprog40]

I am creating a PDF file with CFHTTP (a third party tool is creating it) I need to know when the file which is located in the same folder is done creating. Normally it doesn't take but 3-4 seconds and then I use CFLOCATION is direct the user to the PDF file. Sometimes though it directs them before it is created fully.

Is there a way to tell when its created fully to then direct them with cflocation?

Thanks!

Hard to recommend for sure, but, in theory, FileExists() should fail until another app finish its work and close the file.
So, you can loop and wait until "file exists". You also could try CFFILE Action="read", if FileExists() doesn't help.

You could use locks, thus
