should not be TOO hard to do. Just have a wee program running (hidden) on the machine, or if its on winnt, win 2k or XP boxes, running as a service, that emails a specific address that you can setup. You then have a program running on a mchine that checked that email address every whatever time interval you want, it then puts the data into a database.
The other way, would require you to have a webserver on a machine at your work, and the progrma on the client machine HTTP POSTS the info to a webpage which puts it into a databse for you.
