http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q176/6/70.ASP
Then install all components from the package JETUTILS.EXE
Copy msldbusr.dll in your Windows folder

Then:
1. Copy KADaoInfo.pas and KDaoDatabase.dcr in directory where KADao is Installed
2. Open KADao.dpk in IDE

Property DatabaseVersion : Integer - Returns the version of the selected
Database
Property NumberOfUsers : Integer - Returns the total number of users logged to
database
Property LoggedUsers : TStringList - Returns the name of machines for all
users connected to Database since it is open in share mode
Property LoggedUsersEx : TStringList - Returns the name of machines/usernames
for all users connected to Database since it is open in share mode

Property LastErrorText : String - Returns the last error text representation

Property Active : Boolean - Set to true to obtain info

Methods: (Doing the same without setting Active to true and retrieving only one
property)
----------------
Function KAGetDatabaseVersion(LibraryName,DatabasePath:String):Integer; {Fills
DatabaseVersion property}
Function KAGetNumberOfUsers(LibraryName,DatabasePath:String):Integer; {Fills
NumberOfUsers property}
Function KAGetLoggedUsers(LibraryName,DatabasePath:String):Integer; {Fills
LoggedUsers property}
Function KAGetLoggedInfo(DatabasePath:String):Boolean; {Fills
LoggedUsersEx property}
Function KAGetLoggedNowUsers(LibraryName,DatabasePath:String):Integer; {Fills
LoggedNowUsers property}
Function KAGetErrorUsers(LibraryName,DatabasePath:String):Integer; {Fills
ErrorUsers property}

Events: (All events are triggered after a call to one of six available functions so
you can get LastError and LastErrorText for each)
-------
AfterGetDatabaseVersion
AfterGetNumberOfUsers
AfterGetLoggedUsers
AfterGetLoggedUsersEx
AfterGetLoggedNowUsers
AfterGetErrorUsers

IMPORTANT:
--------------
Since getting all information is based on LDB file created when an mdb is open in
shared mode
You must call frequently this component to obtain realtime information about a
database
I am sorry but i cannot support this component by e-mail
Only bugfixes/patches e-mails will be processed
