Hi all,
I'd just like to thank everyone who suggested solutions to the problem of
getting confirmation that a user has received all of a page they have
requested. The solution may be of use to others.
Heres how it works ....
When a user requests to see the page I'm interested in logging, I call a
stored procedure which inserts a userid and datetime into a table
(t_RequestStart). At the end of the requested page is a small piece of
Javascript which uses remote scripting to call a function back on the
server. This function uses ADO to call a similar stored procedure. This
inserts a record into a separate table (t_RequestEnd) which again stores the
user id and datetime. By ordering records by datetime for a user in both
tables, we can see the http requests beginning and end times. Where
t_RequestStart and t_RequestEnd are within say 1 minute of each other, we
can safely assume that the user has recieved the page.
If anyone is interested in this code, I'm happy to share it. Microsoft's
documentation on Remote scripting seems to have some bugs in it. It took me
about 2 hours to get the sample code working, probably because of my
inexperience with ASP.
I also seem to be suffering from brain melt from using ASP, CF and
JavaScript at the same time.

Michael O'Reilly
