Good Mornin'

I am in the process of creating an online database for a client and need
ideas.  Our client would like anyone, within the company, to be able to
create a new account without getting it approved. This isn't a big deal,
since the URL will not be publicly available.

But, a person at work mentioned that web (robots?) may make thousands of
accounts automatically.  I understand some sites require the user to enter a
key that is displayed in an image.  Since we don't have Generator we can't
do this dynamically. I am wondering if anyone has any clever ideas.

Thanks In Advance.

Gary
