I have a 'split' Access application with about 50 users (not concurrent!).
I can tell when someone is using the application, i.e. the is an LDB locking
file open in the same folder as the back-end database file, but I can't tell
who.

Is there any way, or am I hoping for miracles!

Crudely you can just open the LDB file with NotePad. Problem with this is
it shows you everyoen who has "been" in the file since the first user opened
it. You can only know for sure that at least one of the people you see is
still in there, but it doesn't mean all of them are.

Better is to get the LDB Viewer utility that is on Microsoft's web site. It
will actually tell you who is still actively in the file.
