See whos running the app?

[kovas]

I have a small program on a server which a few people use, i was wondering if it was possible to see who is running the application? Like get computer name, login name and other info of everyone running the program

thank you

You could write out to a log file when the program starts up , writing out the username and machine, etc.

or you could do a similar thing to a database. Using a database you could see who is using it 'now' by removing their info from the table when they close the app.

Hope it helps

this function returns the username of the currently logged in user:

Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias _
"GetUserNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, nSize as Long) _
As Long

lpBuffer is the user name.
