Hi Steve, You certainly have a challenging project by the sounds of it.
If your users want to keep it simple and they are just using the NT/2000 logon to control what they have access to (without poping up a HTML logon) - then MSIE can help you, without having to use cookies. MSIE has a feature called Profile Assistant - which contains personal user data including Email, Home phone number and even your gender. You can find it from the main MSIE Menu 'Tools / Internet Options... / Content / My Profile' and yes, each Profile will be uniquily based on your Workstation Logon. Then, using the built-in Autocomplete feature of MSIE and vCard, you can automatically extract the following information from the Profile Assistant to populate your HTML forms: vCard.Cellular vCard.Company vCard.Department vCard.DisplayName vCard.Email vCard.FirstName vCard.Gender vCard.Home.City vCard.Home.Country vCard.Home.Fax vCard.Home.Phone vCard.Home.State vCard.Home.StreetAddress vCard.Home.Zipcode vCard.Homepage vCard.JobTitle vCard.LastName vCard.MiddleName vCard.Notes vCard.Office vCard.Pager vCard.Business.City vCard.Business.Country vCard.Business.Fax vCard.Business.Phone vCard.Business.State vCard.Business.StreetAddress vCard.Business.URL vCard.Business.Zipcode I've never actually used this, but I understand it works very well. More information is available here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/re ference/properties/vcard_name.asp?frame=true (Above URL may word-wrap). For those of that are concerned about your privacy while cruising the web - just don't fill out the Profile Assistant. Also, I understand vCard is a Standard - so other Browser may also be using this feature besides MSIE. Good Luck. Cheers....

Thanks Robert & Mike We secure right now on the front end with NTFS. I am not allowed to present a dialogue or popup box that would require a WiTango login of any means. So I am currently tracking machine name and IP address. That's it. SO I thought maybe if I could deposit a cookie on the browser pref's folder without them knowing it..Thats where I am at right now.

Hey Steve, I've run into similar situations, I didn't see the original email, and I think people tent to freak out a bit too fast. Can you tell me a little bit more about what it is that you need from the doctors to track them, what is available to them to log in to your system, do they always use the same machines, and anything else that gets thrown in as a funky variable that makes your job harder.
