Ok, I think what I hear is this: If a user actually clicks on a link to the word document, then you're calling it read.
So that's easy. On your DocDisplay.cfm (which I'm assuming is the file with the <cfcontent>) put in a SQL insert there to mark the document as read, then use your <cfcontent> to send the file. Then, on your page with the listing of the document, query the database to see if there's an entry for that user. Is that right? If it still doesn't make sense, let me know and I'll throw together some sample code. >Thanks for the ideas. > >All I am after is when a user who will be authenticated by CF with the >GAL I.E. <cfset user = listLast(cgi.REMOTE_USER,"\")> > > >If they have not read a document, on the docdisplay,.cfm page it will >display next to the document listing 'not read', if they have opened >the word doc and read it (could this be done by embedding a link to a >cfm page in the word doc which would pass the users details to the >database, and would set the status to 'viewed') > >i.e. ID, Name, LoginID, Document, Status, Date > > >Then on the docdisplay.cfm page, next to the document it will display >'viewed' for that user.? > >Does this make sense, and is this the best way of implementing this? > >The problem I am having is in the link from the word doc to the cfm page >to set the status and time etc, how could I do this? i.e. what >parameters would I need to pass from the link in the word doc to the cfm >page? > >Hope this makes sense? > > >Hmmm.... > >Well, this is telling the browser to actually download the document.
