Hi all,

Is there a place where I can find an update for my database so it can list the latest spiders / searchenigines / bots / crawlers in the Who Is Online list ?

Thanks for your help

Thanks snakes, but I already have it enabled. It works fine.

I am looking for a way to update the database so it recognizes the latest spiders and crawlers and not just lists them as "guest".

Example. The following are listed as guest in the who is online list:

msnbot-65-55-213-62.search.msn.com
blexn14.webmeup.com
crawl-66-249-78-224.googlebot.com

Its not a simple db update, you wasnt to detailed in what you was asking, little vague for me.

I am glad you understand it now Snake :-) Sorry for being vague.

I thought this data is stored in the database. Therefore it must be simple to use an sql statement to add the latest info to the database. Of course I am hopeing there is a fanatic out there that does all the hard work to gather and publish the data in an sql format that can be used by VB.
