Hi,

I have an application built from an excel userform where users connect to an access database to pull and write data. However, now we have a decent amount of users using this program I want to keep track who is in the program. The best way I could think of was to create a second database which basically the users connect to with a seperate connection string which I can then monitor from using openschema() . What are the issues with this type of approach? Also is there a way to ensure if the connection goes stale for some reason it will reconnect automatically?

Thanks

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
