Your best bet is to add two fields to your table(s)-- datetime logged in and datetime logged out. You'll need to work out a way to expire someone's login if they appear to be logged in too long (they closed their brower or left it open but forgot about the tab for your site). Upon login, you could perform a query of the table(s), looking for the number of records where the logout field is empty. Paul -- Paul M.
