To make it as simple as possible, I might just grab the referrer. If it is blank, or comes from offsite (domain doesn't match the server), I would stash the referrer, the IP, the time, and the other info you listed.
Jerry Johnson >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 09/19/02 11:42AM >>> I run a 1400 user Intranet for my company, and have a home page that has about 3 dozen links to various resources (including other web servers -- both internal and external). Could some one give be a head start on how I might record the user's *first* click off this home page? No need to track them after that. I'd like to store it in a SQL 7.0 database to run queries against, and at a minimum I'd like the CFToken, CFID, IP Address, and fully qualified URL that the click refers to. I know very little about session/client management, but any articles or publications pointed out would help me get over this limitation. This is a 4.5 environment running on Windows NT. (ya-ya, I know - quit snickering). Some direction (and pointing out the pitfalls) would be much appreciated. .and as always, thanks in advance! .and as always, thanks in advance! ______________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
