Hi there

I am wondering what is the best way to create a chat room.  I notice 

that a few questions have been asked about this subject on the various 

discussion forums here on P2P over the last 12 months but no answer has 

been given except David White's answer:-

"The original "ASP FOR DUMMIES" book had a basic chat room written in 

ASP. It

also had a bulletin board and other interesting examples to work with"



I have been thinking of the following ideas:-

  1.. MS Access is a non runner if there are going to be more than 8 

concurrent users.

  2.. I am trying to keep away from SQL server to keep down cost of 

hosting.

  3.. Application variables won't keep a record of the conversation

  4.. Is it possible to use a text file to store the conversation on?



Your suggestions are welcome



Kind Regards

Oliver Dempsey
