Hi Tim!

I use a tequinique similar to the one you've mentioned. I've been handling abends by adding a timer to the app that fires every 30 seconds or so to refresh the user information. This way I can clear all the 'logged in' flags, and wait a little while and see who's currently running the application. There are a few drawbacks (users opening tables outside the application via Crystal Reports is one) but so far, I haven't found a better solution.
