how to add page hit counter to a linked document

Question

We have a hard coded link on the upper right side of the home page for the communication document that is posted. They want to know if we can get a count of hits to that page.

when user click on that link a word document will open and they need to know how many people are paying attention so they need hit counter for that. i have no idea how to do that , because i am new to coldfusion.

Thanks

Instead of linking to the document, link to a cold fusion page that increases your hit counter and then delivers the document to the person.

For delivering the document, you'll need to use the cfheader and cfcontent tags. Googling the tag names leads you to the correct references very quickly. For the hit counter, first you have to decide how you want this information stored. That's a concept that applies to programming in general - don't try to code anything until you know what the code is supposed to accomplish.
