Craig,
what would be the best way to implement this, have a field on the users table or try to check the session variables (i'm unsure how to do this bit).

>>hi all,
>>i was wondering how a site, like this, can tell if a user is online. i am trying to do this on a smaller scale, but i never get proper results, say if a user clowes the browser rather than logs off. i am using asp and iis with vfp dll's and database.
