Right now that code with create/use the file that is the same folder as the webpage executing the code.

Let me break the code down for you.

<%
dim iplg, logFile8 'Dimension the variables
set iplg=createObject("scripting.FileSystemObject") 'Create the FSO Object
set logFile8=iplg.openTextFile(server.mappath("IPLOG.txt"),8) 'Open the text file
logFile8.write Request.ServerVariables("Remote_Addr") & vbcrlf 'Write the IP Address to the file
logFile8.close 'Close the FSO Object
set logFile8=nothing
set iplg=nothing
%>

Where it opens the file you can change the path to go into your db folder.

Just do: set logFile8=iplg.openTextFile(server.mappath("db\IPLOG.txt"),8)

And if the webpage is in a sub folder in the site, it would be set logFile8=iplg.openTextFile(server.mappath("..\db\IPLOG.txt"),8)

However you'd probably only want to run this script once when the visitor initially accesses your site because regardless if it was just ran on a previous page it will run again and insert the same IP address.

You have to put it in global.asa's Session_OnStart so that it will be executed once for every session.

Sub Session_OnStart

'codes here

End Sub
