Hi

I think this can be done I'm just not sure how.

I have a program written in VB6 that is used by about 100 clients that I want to get usage statistics(how many times each client runs the program).

Each week the client has to go online and update the software using a URL we supply. The plan is for the program to create the url with the statistics in for example www.jase.com/update.asp?id=10?uses=100. Where obviously ID is the clients ID number and usage is the amount of times the software has been run. Now I think thats the easy part.

What I want to know is how I deal with it at the other end, that is I would like to grab that information somehow and store it. I currently use Ultradev for the majority of my ASP, as I'm by no stretch of the imagination an expert yet.


Feasible or am I a crazy fool??


TIA

sure thats possible... you can grab those values by using the request.querystring collection like so:

dim id, uses
id = request.querystring("id"
uses = request.querystring("uses"

you can then toss those values right into a database
