>In my app I have a login procedure and everytime someone login I update my login table and this tell me how many users are login and I also have a logout procedure that update the login table, this will work well in a perfect world, where I see a problem is if the users computer shutdown prematurely, if this happen it would not update my login table, so the login count would be off.

You could also just track by connection [MAC Address] instead of the user. You can get a free OCX [macaddress.ocx] developed for use in VFP apps that will return the MAC address of the computer accessing your app. If you go to:

http://forums.compuserve.com/vlforums/default.asp?SRV=MSDevApps

and do a search on mac address under the Files search, you will see the file listed. You may have to create a FREE Login ID and password in order to gain access. This is the CompuServer Forum. I use this control, and it is the only one I have found that actually works everytime regardless of OS.
