Hi,

I am developping a VB app that uses the webbrowser to show multimedia clips. I need to keep track of when each clips finishes and starts in some 100% reliable way.

I use a counter to keep track of each clip and increment it each time a clip finishes. I then know to start the next clip.

These clip files are played locally on the user's pc and displayed using the webbrowser. The files can be anything, avi, jpeg with a timer, mpeg,...

The problem I have is that I have been using cookies to keep that counter, but these are not very reliable as users can disable cookies on their pc's.

I also tried using a vbs file and the FileSystemObject stuff to call a function that increments this counter. But again here the problem is we get  a warning message telling the user something is trying to write to disk.

So, seing as using cookies and a vbs file is tricky and/or unreliable, what other way to keep and increment this counter can I use here?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
