Hi all, I am in the process of writing a hit counter app in java, but in the meantime, I have thrown a little something together in CF and wanted to get some feedback on it. I have a SQL Server backend to this site and what I do is in the application.cfm page, I check for the existence of a variable called session.visitor. If it exists, it means that the application already ran the next part which is the code to look at the users IP and check for it in a table in my DB... if there is a match it sets the variable session.visitor again, and if no match is found it adds a record and then sets the variable. Is there anything wrong with the way I do this?...is there a more efficient way? Just so you know, I am unable to use cookies on this site. Mike
