I want to update a field in my DB when a user leaves a specific page. I 
have tried to use the window_onunload subroutine. Is there any way to stop 
the subroutine from excecuting until the user leaves the page? If not, is 
there another way to accomplish what I want to do?
Thx

Try creating a page that updates the record  

	updateRecord.asp 

Create a clientside function that passes the update date into querystring
	
	var NewWin = window.open("balnk.asp","features")
	NewWin.location.href = "updateRecord.asp?variable=value&var2=value2"
	//other processing

Tie the clientside function to the onunload or onbeforeunload event
