HI!

I have a function called users in system:
What it currently does is:
on the server I have a PROFILES folder
PROFILES -
USER1
foxuser.dbf
USER2
foxuser.dbf

The program checks all user folders and tries to open the foxuser.dbf excl
If it fails then the user is assumed to be in the system.

This solution usually works but often it shows some users which left the system
I think NT holds the files as a part of it's file caching therefor the excl call fails.
It seems this way because you also cannot delete the file at this time.

Also it sometimes fails to pick up some users (I dopn't know why)

What I am looking for is ideas on how to show the users that are in the system...
I used to have a login table with a record for each logged in user but when the program crashes
this record is not deleted and it appears there are users in the system.

What do you people use if anything for this type of function?!?!?
