prevent script from being interrupted on web

[tbeidler]

I have a rather long script that's initiated from a web page. It seems that the script can be interrupted in the middle by any other action initiated from the website. For example, the script is running, and someone creates a new record at the same time, then the script is cancelled.

I have a 3 second pause inserted into the script. I thought that might be the problem. I tried to insert a user abort off into the script but that doesn't seem to help.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

It was my understanding that all web activity is halted while a script is running on the server.

The only posible exception that I could think of would be somebody sitting at the server working on the same database at the same time. This is, of course, why servers should be dedicated -- to prevent this from happening.
