Does he really need to know what formvariables are being used on a page in semi real time? Likely he just wants to know how busy the site is and if that's the case then perhaps only document a simple count or get creative and every time someone hits the site, have the server play a sound file of a cash register from a speaker in his office, so when the site is busy it sounds like the money is rolling in :-) You get the drift... Lastly, if all else fails, hit him between the eyes with the thing everybody understands: money. They way he's doing it now is costing him in lost staff time and ultimately money. They way you are proposing to do it will save you time and him money, etc. etc. etc. -Dan On 7/11/2011 7:41 AM, Kenneth Grome wrote: >> Ken, He is quite pigheaded, I've spoken to him >> repeatedly, about why he is interested in this >> information, he has no clear answer, but he >> signs my paycheck. > Instead of appending the data to a db that's open all the > time, append it to the end of a text file instead.
