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

[Joel Shapiro]

(wouldn't people then need to log out in the reverse order they  
logged in?)

One other option would be to capture Get(AccountName) in an OnOpen  
script and place it in some prefs table, and then purge it OnClose.

I'm not saying it's a nice option, but an option it is.
