[AccessD] Users in SQL Server

For best practices, users should be selected at random to be publicly
Colbyized (20,000 feet, out the door without a parachute), thereby keeping
the rest in line.

Also, note that for best scalability and best practices, users should
connect to the database, do what they need, then disconnect.  So really, the
users should not be connected to the database all of the time as in Access.

Sp_who and sp_who2 will give you processes and connections...not unique
users.

This gives you a count of processes connected to the specified database name

select count(*) from master.dbo.sysprocesses where dbid =
db_id('databasename') 

This gives you unique logins connected to the specified database name

select distinct loginame from master.dbo.sysprocesses where loginame =
'userlogin'
and dbid = db_id('databasename')

NOTE: if your application's processes use one login for all users then you
won't get a true value.

You can do a passthrough query to the master database and execute this
system stored procedure. 

EXEC SP_WHO

Is there something that can be read from SQL Server to discover the count of
and even a list of users logged in to a SQL Server database?  I am moving a
client from an MDB data store to SQL Server and need to get this information
on demand, using VBA.
