Gathering user input and writing it to a table - SOLVED

Hello, I am wanting to add some functionality to a .fex file which gathers four or five pieces of data, which are user inputs passed to the .fex (username, month, year) and also the name of the .fex. I then want to write that data to a record in a table along with a date/time stamp. Basically gathering usage statistics for my .fex.

I'm a relatively new user and have not attempted to write records to a table in such a manner. Coming from a VBA background, this seems like a relatively simple thing which could be accomplished in just a couple lines of code. Can someone provide an example of how to accomplish this in a .fex?

Thanks in advance for your help!

you can use SQL Passthru for executing SQL insert query.

We have a product called Maintain that has a complete front end and back end. If you only want to pass the data into the FEX Maintain can retrieve it and use an INCLUDE statement to save it to the database. There is also the Maintain Development Environment that creates forms to collect data. Adding a time stamp, in either case, is easy.

Thanks Mark, I'm not sure if Maintain is a part of my company's license agreement, nor do I have the ability to change it.

Neelima, the SQL pass through functionality looks interesting and simple. I need to research how to execute that!
