Hi Steve, <@CGIPARAM USER_AGENT> is a very useful little feature, but be cautious, there are so many different possible values, that it could be difficult to parse
http://www.pgts.com.au/pgtsj/pgtsj0208c.html I usually store the value in a single field, but make sure you chop off the length at something like a 100 characters because I don't think there is any limit to how long the string might be. <@LEFT STR="<@CGIPARAM USER_AGENT>" NUMCHARS=100> Have fun.....
