Well, this can be a little dicey. You can easily create a variable to track when a user visits a page. For example, if you want to set a Client variable when a user visits the page, just go ahead and set one on that page: <cfset Client.HomePageVisited = Now()> However, setting a variable when a user leaves a page is more difficult, because web servers don't know when you leave a page. You can use JavaScript events to trigger server-side code to run, but those depend on the browser to execute your JavaScript. The specific event handler that would interest you in this case would be the onunload event handler for the body tag.
