Get a list of current users

[Claus Lavendt]

In Fm6 you could get a list of current groups, which was almost equal to current users.

Does anyone knows some kind of function like Get(CurrentUserNames) in fm7 / fm8 ?

In the server admin you can see a list of current connected users.

Does anyone have a suggestion ?

There is no function to return a list of accounts, logged in or otherwise.

If you can say what you hope to accomplish, we might have some suggestions.

Hi Ender

Thanks for your respond.

I wanted a list of currently logged in accounts in the current file. This list should be presented to the user, so that he could take use of "instant message" built into my filemaker solution.

May be such?

You can create new table List_Of_Current_Users in your file, and in Standart Open script you can add new record with this username. And when user finish his work, in On Closing script you must delete this record from table.

Yeah I know, but this metod does not encounter for situations where user is accidently disconnected.

You could set up a script that imports the event log into a filemaker database, and set this to repeat on a frequent basis on a utility machine. The records in your event log table would allow you to track users in each file.
