Hi,
I have a section on my website where people can make a request for me to create a page for them, using an ASP Form submission script. Is there any way that I could let those who make a request know where they stand in the queue? I'm not sure exactly how it could be done, but basically I would need a script that increases the number in the queue by 1 each time someone presses the 'submit' button on the form, and a script that also gives me the ability to edit the number in the queue each time I complete a request. I am also unsure as to what page this script would need to be included. Currently, when someone submits a request using the form, they are taken to a 'thank you' page, and then re-directed back to the page with the form on it, so I guess it could be implemented on either the form page, or the thank you page.
Any ideas? Please note that I am not very knowledgable when it comes to ASP script, so would need things explained in a simple to understand way. 
Thanks!

Okay. The Form is processed using ASPMailer, which you can read about at http://www.cgiware.com/aspmailer.html The form information is not stored, but just forwarded to me via email, and there is no database. I do have a Counter Database which I am sort of using at the moment to try and let those who make requests know where in the queue they stand, but the only way I could get that to work effectively (because it counts page views) was to have it included on the thank you page, rather than the Request page. This Script is called Stark Counter (which you can see at http://www.starkwebdesign.com/scripts/counter/default.asp), altho I have edited it a little. The database is an access database.
Hopefully this info will help in some way, and thanks for your reply!
