I am trying to use the .LDB file to determine who is in a database at a given time. I open it in Notepad and it shows me the following:

FLD004161 Admin FLD004727A Admin FLD005611LS Admin FLD010779 Admin FLD011027LS Admin FLD011746LS Admin FLD011465LS Admin FC027982 Admin FLD006343LS Admin FLD003564LS Admin FLD005611LS Admin AN006769 Admin AN006769 Admin FLD002565LS Admin

Now, I can decode the 6 digits within each user name to determine who it is, however, some are repeated and some have "LS" or "A" after them - any idea what that is? Also, I know all these people are not in the database at the same time - does the .LDB file show a history of ALL users who have been in the database since the .LDB file was created, or does it ONLY show those who are CURRENTLY in the database at the time I view it?

Help is appreciated!

Thanks,
Joe
