Hmmm... Let the ActiveX (or Java if doing it from there instead) do a HTTP GET from the server seems to be easiest (for example http://intraweb.company.com/app/usedby.cgi?uname=username ). That wouldn't let the client side know who the user is though (!) but I gather that wasn't the original problem.
