Is there a method for revealing the IP address of a web browser client and enter that data into a "IP Address Last Modified" field data when a record is edited through a web browser?

Sure. If your database field is 'client_ip', add this to your form:

<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="client_ip" VALUE="[FMP-ClientIP]">

Hi,

You can grab the client IP address by using the "Web-ClientIP" external function. You will find this function, along with some other web companion functions, under external functions in the Specify Calculation dialog.

Good Luck,

Martin Wiedemann

OH, the book says to use 0 (zero) as a parameter.

External ("Web-ClientIP", 0)

Thanks for your help David & Martin
