    I don't really think this is feasible. For other thing, the system will be
    capable of terminating the process that is running the script (eg
    WScript.exe or InetInfo.exe) if the user doesn't enter anything (sometimes
    you see the "program xyz is has not responded in a timely manner. Do you
    want to terminate the program?" type prompts).

    I assume that Windows itself provides APIs that you can hook into for doing
    these things. You'd need to write an application or a service though.

    Can you tell us what you are thinking of doing? Perhaps there is a different
    way?

    Cheers

    : Hi all,
    :
    : I have created an ASP script that enters data into an Access Database.
    :
    : My problem is that I'd like this script to run when the computer is
    shutdown
    : or the user logs off.
    :
    : I think this would be simple enough if the ASP didn't have any user input,
    : but it does.
    :
    : How can I do it that the logoff/shutdown only continues after the ASP form
    : has been submitted?
    :
    : Any other suggestions on getting around the problem if it isn't possible
    to
    : do it using the above method would also be appreciated.

    : Thanks
