I've run into some huge CF templates and never had a problem, but I can't for the life of me understand why you'd have a large CF template. You template only needs to be a few lines: <cfsilent> <cfparam name="url.q" type="string" /> <cfquery name="getResults"> select column1, column2, column3 from table where column1 like <cfqueryparam type="cf_sql_varchar" value="#url.q#%" /> </cfquery> </cfsilent><cfoutput query="getResults">#column1#|#column2#|#column3# </cfoutput> That's basically all you need. Very simple stuff. There's absolute no reason you should be using any kind of hard code data. -Dan
