[FX.php List] [OT] Is it possible to see which fmapp users are logged into a database file from within FileMaker?

[Joel Shapiro]

see: Get(UserCount)

http://www.filemaker.com/help/html/func_ref2.32.79.html#1045012

Description
Returns:	
1 if FileMaker network sharing is turned off
	
1 + the number of clients if FileMaker network sharing is turned on
This function does not count clients accessing the database file via  
ODBC or JDBC.

Examples
Returns 5 when there are 4 clients accessing the database file.
