>>>Is it possible to determine who is "using" a table when the table is shared on a network? Say we need to perform a PACK or some other maintenence that requires exclusive use of the file, but some user has it open so we can't get exclusive possession of it. Is there a way to determine which user has it open?

I believe there was a recent thread on the same topic, but I don't remember if this code worked or not for the person who asked.

I need to somehow find this thread.

UPDATE. Not sure, if this is the one, but I found Re: How many users are running the application now? Thread #1182163
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
