G'day Steven, You're way out of my depth here so I'll pass you over to my resident guru, Robert Horn. (NOTE: Any opinions expressed by Robert are his alone and may bear no relationship to those of the management!) <g> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am not so sure you are going to find this very easy in VB. I have been looking at doing a similar thing, except I want to be able to record the addresses of each site visited as well as by who. The only way I have seen that this can be done is setting up a FreeBSD computer that accesses the internet through Dial-up or whatever connection you are using. You have it acting as a gateway and proxy to the internet and it then monitors the traffic. There is some serious C work to be done on it, and you would have to use a database like MySQL (free of course).
