entering data into MS Access database

[wwolff]

Hello,

I'm creating an online survey using XHTML -- no PHP -- where the data will be
entering into a MS Access database, and I am having trouble figuring out how to
create a unique number/marker for a user if they are not logging in to the
survey. I'm not interested in just having 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., but something that
will identify a particular user.

In the past I have had users log in, but with this survey I do not having the
ability to use a log in feature. With the log in, a unique number was created
an entered into the database, as a way to ensure that a user was not taking the
survey more than once. I do not have the option of asking for their email
address.

Is there a way for a unique number to be generated per user so I can ensure
the same person is not taking the survey twice? There will be 10,000+ people
receiving the survey.

I'm also interested in a way to ensure that the same data is not entered on
multiple lines in the database.

The survey will be one page only.

Thanks!
BW

You can set a unique ID for every user, by using the CreateUUID() function.
show us what you tried, so far, and we will try to improve it.

Hi

Or else you can restrict to the user IP address.
I think ben forta is doing the same thing in his site. once we post poll then we cant do post one more poll again.
