Functional Equivalent Of LdbViewer That Shows Windows ID?

Just moved an app to Citrix, where everybody's PC name is the
same: the Citrix server's name.

LdbView.exe returns PC name.

Anybody know of something that returns Windows UserIDs of people
using an MS Access DB?
 
Pete's got a good noggin on his shoulders. I don't have to tell
him to save each user's windows name in a table in the back end
when the user opens the app and delete the record when the user
closes the app so he can query the table to find out who's in the
db. Pete can figure that part out himself.

That's not quite as reliable as you might think. Been there, done
that.
 
If you have a better suggestion for Pete's situation, please offer
it.

Your suggestion seems to me to have been substantially incomplete. I
have used the method you eventually suggested, but it did not occr
to me that that was what you were alluding to by pointing him to the
code for getting the Windows username.

That will be my fallback position if what I was trolling for
doesn't seem to exist.

Seems pretty straightforward to me - maybe four hours max.

Only joker in the deck would seem tb automagically removing bogus
overnight users each morning - probably when the first user logs
in for that date.

In anticipation of that, I'd have the app auto-terminate anybody
who actually *is* still logged on at, say, 1159.
