IP Address Last Modified Field - Web Browser Client

[gheinonen]

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,

Using a calculation field ...

External ("Web-ClientAddress", parameter)

or

External ("Web-ClientIP", parameter)

what is it looking for in the "parameter"

Thanks

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

External ("Web-ClientIP", 0)

Thanks for your help David & Martin
