KeithG Posts: 92 From: Irving TX Irving, Texas, USA Status: offline	Session Variables - 4/4/2001 16:48:00 Using server variables I am able to display on any page how many users are currently logged into the site. I have seen somewhere but now cannot find how to display who the online users are, ie. username or something to that effect. Anyone? Thanks.

Hi Keith,
I may be wrong about this, but I think that ordinarily you can't get information about a users username. In theory, there is the server variable LOGON_USER, which you can access by Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")
However, this is only set if anonymous access to your web is disabled, which it won't be for internet applications as the IUSR_machinename (anonymous) account is used by default for access. The LOGON_USER is very handy for intranet use if you were planning to use it in that environment.

All the best

I did have a link, it was either aspcode.com, asp101.com or 15seconds.com

Obviously now I cant find it

But, you will only tell which users are on if you can perform a lookup of their name (via LOGON_USER or database lookup)

Otherwise, they will remain anonymous (but you can count how many)

Hi Keith,

I have a site administration page for checking database size, modifying and deleting records etc.

Being able to tell how many users are accessing my databases would be really handy for when I want to take them offline to make changes.

Any chance of a link to more info on this?

Thanks,

Mark.

Are you using server variables? If so let me know and I will forward the code, it's quite simple. If you are not using server variables, it will take a little more work...
