The limit on concurrent users is in this file. So there can only be users currently logged in at the same time.
Since a multi-user Access app should be split between a local front end and a shared back end, it is only the back end where the number of logged in users is a concern. Frankly, you will probably encounter performance issues before you reach the limit. It would be a rare Access app that would have people logged in and working with data at the same time.

Office ProPlus is being renamed to Microsoft Apps for enterprise. For more information about this change, read this blog post. This article applies only to a Microsoft Access database. Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.
In a Microsoft Office Access environment, you may not be able to determine who opened an Access database in the exclusive mode. However, you can use the operating system utilities to determine who is using shared resources on your computer. The linked artikle is for A and probably for a bit OS.
The here mentioned registry path is for Windows 7 bit with Office bit installed on it, what mostly is the case. There are a few entries inside but only one has the.. That was correct in Win98 times. You could open a command prompt, change the environment variable and then start Access So you could manipulate it. Since WinXP this doesn'r work anymore. Access gets it's own environment and don't inherit it from the command prompt.
I tried it a few years ago and didn't don't a way to do it or at least not a way that would be easy. Anyway I'd prefer using forms and the mentioned API call if I can assure records are only added by Forms but not directly to tables or by other applications. Yes, Doug is right. It's still working, even used in the defaultvalue property of a table field. Just had to give it a try again. You can even create a cmd file to start access where you set the environment variable before starting Access like this:.
Anyway: I can't find another way to get the username for the fields defaultproperty in tabledefs. One can't call UDFs from there. Thanks for the explanation. So am I understanding correctly that the Windows API returns the logged in user, but is there a way to verify the logged in user against active directory? But is there a way to validate against AD? I would think that since the user is logged in, that he is already authenticated and thus the username would be valid.
I guess what I am looking for is if there is a way to have a log in screen open when an Access database loads, that asks for a username and password, and then verifies that password against the AD. If your user is logged on and your workstations don't allow to logon locally the user must be authenticated in the Active Directory.
If you want to retrieve more information than only the username to ensure if the user is logged on to a domain or locally or if the domain is your domain you may use the IADsADSystemInfo utility. You may use following function based on the mentioned utility to retrieve the AD Domain the user is logged in to:.
Here is what I've used in a split-database Access accdb for about 3 years without a problem. The content you requested has been removed. Ask a question. Quick access. Search related threads.
Remove From My Forums. The code is modular. The Requery command refreshes the listbox display. Finding out who is using your database If you have multiple users in your database, you often need to know who is in the database when it comes time to do some maintenance.
How it works A hidden form called frmMonitor is opened in the background when the database launches. You can download a sample database here 17, bytes The components tblUserLog This table goes in the back end database of your split system. The DoCmd. RunSQL command runs the query, creating the new log record.
To view it, frmUserLog has a listbox and two command buttons to toggle between currently logged in users and all log records. A third button closes the form.
