you would need to use the global.asa file (if your host supports it). you can look on asp101.com to find out how the global.asa file works, and i think they even have a sample on how to do this.

Nope...none.
Is there a way to count sessions?
The active users MOD uses the database doesn't it? I would like to use a simple way...

Well, I thought you were asking for something from Nathan's and I didn't even look. Here is some code to put in global asa:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VbScript" RUNAT="Server">
Sub Application_OnStart()
Application("Visit_Count") = 0
End Sub
Sub Session_OnStart()
Dim intVisits
Application.Lock
intVisits = Application("Visit_Count") + 1
Application("Visit_Count") = intVisits
Application.Unlock
Session.Timeout = 15 'sets session timeout for 15 minutes
End Sub
Sub Session_OnEnd()
Dim intVisits
Application.Lock
intVisits = Application("Visit_Count") - 1
If intVisits > 0 Then
Application("Visit_Count") = intVisits
Else
Application("Visit_Count") = 0
End If
Application.Unlock
End Sub
</SCRIPT>
To get the number of visitors you just do
Response.Write Session.Contents("Visit_Count")

I got it to work...but, I want it to end the session on browser close...
that way it'll be more accurate...otherwise, it could add an entry to a textfile, and delete when the user leaves...how do you do that?

I never needed to handle like that. The problem with ending a session on browser close is that browser closing is a client side event and session ending is a server side action.
So you need to deal with it through Javascript, maybe detecting the close event and running a simple server side script to end the session before the browser closes...
You'll have to try it yourself...
For now you can diminish the timeout value maybe to 5 minutes, it will make the value mor accurate.

one thing that i have seen done, is when you close websites a pop up window comes up and then says please wait was we log you out, then the window closes itself. this is something you could do.
