User Count

[TomNorton]

Using Progress 8.3b, client/server, NT server and network.

Is there any way to get the number of connected users to a database from a client process (not using virtual tables)?

The reason being that the client initiates the report builder, but it fails to print because it cannot establish another connection to the database. I want, instead, to trap this condition.

Hi Tom-

Why don't you want to use VSTs for this? This is by far the easiest path to find out how many users are connected, and the most reliable.

Thanks Chris for your comments.

On reflection, I will be using virtual tables ... I suppose I was just being a bit lazy and looking for a quick fix.

Anyway, thanks again.

Tom.
