Dont think that would work if they were going off-site. How about setting up a referrer page that all the links on the front page go to and there you could record the click then send them on?

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.
