List of users currently logged into PowerChurch

I think this topic was raised in 2008 but I wanted to check to see if there was an update to the response. Is there any way for the PowerChurch System Admin to view the users currently logged into the database? Our church and school campus covers a large area and it would be helpful to know "who" is currently logged into PowerChurch when a database event/activity occurs which requires exclusive access to the data files. I would appreciate an update. Thanks

Same answer ... its very possible that once Powerchurch is no longer on Foxpro, the issue with exclusive access will no longer be a problem.

Thanks for the update Neil. Any projected date when PowerChurch might move to a new platform?... Say Sql?

The only person who knows is .. to quote Top Gear:

They say ... that he has Microsoft Visual Studio on everything but his refrigerator, and that he writes private functions in his sleep. All we know is, he's call the Lead Programmer!!

What I do know, is that they are working on the next version, it won't be on FoxPro because M$ in its infinite wisdom has let a robust development platform die on the vine, and I've not heard when a beta (or even an alpha) will be out for user test.

We're still a pretty long ways off from a Version 12 beta.

As for the list of users that are currently logged in, it has been discussed, but will not likely be added to the current version or platform of PowerChurch.

Is there any update on this now that Version 12 has been released?

If you're on v12, you'll know that its on the same platform and there's still not a good way to get this information.
