OK let me explain.

We have a software product that our clients use. They have the option
to upload certain data to an online database for display on the web.
The application to upload this data originally connected directly to the
online database at the clients ISP. We gave up this approach as many
ISPs seemed unable or unwilling to let us connect through their
firewalls.

The new approach was to ftp the data in delimited text files to the ISP
and run a asp script to import them from behind the firewall. This is
this script I'm having trouble with. It imports the data and displays
"Success" which the application uses to check if the import was
successful. We have been using this for over a year now without any
trouble.

I didn't write or design this but I have the unfortunate task of
maintaining it. One of our clients uploads a lot of data and this is
the one causing me problems.

As I'm running out of time to fix this I have used a botch.

I now Response.Write( " " ) in the importing function loop to keep
the Response working.

The application then just trims the output.

Not pretty but it's a solution and I'm just about out of time. I wish I
could do this properly but I just don't know how.
