>>>As you correctly indicated, I am getting "::1" for IP when running on my local Web Site. Do I understand that when I deploy the app to the customer web site (and they will hit it not from local web site), I will see valid IPs?

>Thank you (and Viv). For me it is important to log the IP of a user who submits within several seconds. Basically I am troubleshooting the following issue. Users submits duplicate orders by Submitting and then clicking on Back and Submitting again. They claim that they don't do it. And the only way I can prove to them (and to myself) is by logging every Submit with the IP and order number. So two submits within seconds with the consecutive order numbers and the same "IP" will show the trend.

I agree with Michel and Viv - disable the submit button as soon as they submit the order. If they hit the back button the page is normally pulled from the browser cache so the button will still be disabled. Another approach is to embed a unique # in a hidden field in the page that gets stored with the order. Before saving use this value to check to see if it's been previously submitted. Or, if you don't want to do that, use the customer + invoice total + invoice date as a key - when they submit check to see if an invoice for the same customer/amount/date exists. If it does, prompt them to confirm before sving.
