Thanks it brings back a result ok. &nbsp;Do you know if the CF code returns miles or kilometers. It does not say in the documentation. Give it talks about zip codes - does this mean miles?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

I see there are many formulae on this site for doing this. But I need to know how to do it using<br />
Cold Fusion.<br />
<br />
I will have two coordinates I need to calculate the distance dynamically as I run a Schedulted CF task to mail members of the data base:- . &nbsp;to see if a posted opportunity is within their defined area - they specify how many KMS they are prepared to travel.<br />
<br />
Eg I will have <br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MemberLat = &quot;37.6922361&quot;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MemberLng = &quot;-97.3375448&quot;<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;OpportunityLat = &quot;56.1303660&quot;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;OpportunityLng = &quot;-106.3467710&quot;<br />

Calculate distance between two Lattitude Longitude Coordiantes using ColdFusion 6

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.

ColdFusion is a server-side rapid application development platform originally created by Allaire and now sold by Adobe, implementing the dynamic general purpose CFML programming language. The term ColdFusion is sometimes colloquially used to refer to the CFML language (Cold Fusion Markup Language), but can also include discussions of the server software implementation. ColdFusion runs using a customised version of Apache Tomcat. Earlier versions are bundled with JRun.
