I would like to check the number of users accessing a database using MS Visual Basic. Do you know how it could be done?

Thanks!

I think that this would be pretty hard to do considering ADO and connection pooling.

What exactly are you trying to determine with the "number of connections?" You may need to create a table and for each "login" of your app add a record into the table.

These may help you as well. Run them in Query Analyzer.
EXEC sp_who
or
EXEC sp_who2

I am writing an application which restrict the number of users running this application. To do so, I need to check the number of users accessing the application.

So try the ProgramName column of sp_who2 assuming you set the application name in your connection string?

you can also query master.sysprocesses, depending on your security model... your VB application name will be in the field program_name
