How to list all current users?

[ML2008]

How can I see all the current database users? Is there a way to list the number of users as well as their usernames??

As no-one has replied, there probably isn't an easy way.

If you have know all the users and usernames then have a table with them in that has a 'logged_in' field (1's & 0's) that is set on a start-up script. Then loop the table for current users.

However, you would also need a reliable way of knowing when they log out - don't know if this is possible when they shut the database down with an 'on close' script.

Hello Manny,

You may wish to investigate the funcrtions:

Get ( UserCount )

Get ( UserName )

Get ( AccountName )

The first answers the first part of your question. As to the second part, I suspect that you are looking for a list of account names rather than user names (which are the assigned workstation IDs in FileMaker).

Whilst there is no built-in calculation function to return a full list of current users, there are techniques by which a list can be assembled. To that end, you might want to take a look at the Activator plug-in.
