Dennis - I do this with most of my client databases and give them a "Who's in R:BASE?" menu option. I just create a date/time field, "EmpLoggedIn", in the table that tracks the user's name or login. Whenever they enter the R:BASE database, I update the "EmpLoggedIn" field with the current system date and time. When the choose the Exit button, the program nulls out that field. It's especially helpful if users are logging in via Terminal Server, or if they are located on different floors or buildings.

If my main menu only lets them exit via an Exit button (no Esc, X, etc.) it would seem that I can always (usually) show the Supervisor who is logged in. If you get knocked out to the desktop or End Task, then you would still be logged in, but at least we would usually know who to contact to log out when we need everyone out. And, if the same user(s) is frequently found already logged in when they log in, then we can discipline them appropriately! Anyone else doing this?
