find out who is logged on to my data base

[clcnewtoaccess]

I work for a large company and I am having trouble finding out who is logged
on to the data base. I do not have admin rights to the server but I do own
the folder that the data base is located in. This is causing me a lot of
trouble when I am trying to backup or make changes to the data base.

Add a "UsageLog" table to your db. When startup form opens, append user
timestamp "Login" record to UsageLog. When final form closes (assumes at
least one "always open" form, hidden or visible), append a user timestamp
"logout" to UsageLog (and delete records older than x days).

At any given time a query to the backend UsageLog should be able to tell you
who has logged in but not out.

Can be expanded to include logging of other events like "special password
supplied", "special access denied".

Have any of you used The Access Workbench? I found this through research and
it seems to work well. It even gives you the ability to send a message to
the computer that is logged in to your data base.

Thanks for the help all!
