You should be able to call a Mach-II file just fine. Just use <cfcontent reset="true" /> to clear the output buffer (you might need to set the content type as well.) Here's a technique Raymond Camden uses to use Mach II w/Spry and it's AJAX calls. The only real difference between what Raymond's doing and what you're doing is instead of returning pure XML, you're just returning a pipe delimited file. http://ray.camdenfamily.com/index.cfm/2006/8/22/Using-AJAX-with-ModelGlue Also, make sure you're using a tool where you can monitor the HTTP traffic--this will help your debugging immensely. I recommend Firebug for Firefox and I really like Fiddler HTTP Debugger as a general Windows HTTP monitoring proxy. -Dan
