Viewing users in Access

S

All,

Is there a feature in Access 2003 running on XP Pro that allows you to view
which users are using the database at any given time? The administrators of
the database we created using Access would like to view which users are
logged into it. This is a shared DB one a shared network drive.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, Scott.

Access doesn't provide such a feature, but Microsoft's LDB Viewer is such a
tool which can be used to view the users of any Access database on the
network. You may find a link to this tool and other free diagnostic tools
in the "Free Microsoft Access Troubleshooting Tools" section on this Web
page:

Hi. Scott.

If the LDB Viewer tool doesn't suit the Administrator's needs, then an
Access developer could write some code in the Access database to execute
that would retrieve and display the database user information for the
Administrators. Sample code for this task in Access 2002 and 2003 is
available on this Web page (with a link to the Access 2000 version):
